Marlo Rangel , LPC

Marlo Rangel is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing relationship strain, trauma, depression, anxiety, and life changes. She draws on 12 years of experience to offer steady support for intimacy concerns, grief, parenting stress, body image, and career questions. Marlo speaks English and practices from Texas as an LPC.

Her style is warm and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps clients can use between meetings. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try different responses. Communication skills and managing emotions often take priority in early work.

Marlo uses a mix of approaches to fit each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build workable routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for distress tolerance and emotional regulation. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the conversation grounded in each person’s values and pace.

She also draws on motivational interviewing to uncover what motivates change, and solution-focused techniques to map short-term progress. These methods support practical concerns like sleeping, eating, and work stress as well as deeper issues such as abandonment or family of origin dynamics.

People who want straightforward guidance about relationships, parenting pressures, or recovering from past hurt often find this approach useful. Marlo encourages collaboration - clients set goals and she helps shape the path to reach them. To begin, users complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on each person’s experience and values, allowing sessions to move at a comfortable pace and focusing on what matters most to the client. It is useful when someone needs a supportive space to clarify goals and feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, then replaces them with practical strategies. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and behavior changes that affect day-to-day life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These skills can help with stress, anger, and problems keeping relationships stable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist and client meet face-to-face for deeper conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates, real-time problem-solving, or stepping through exercises between longer sessions. Together these options make therapy easier to fit around work, family, and daily life.
