About Lauren

Lauren Del Angel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on family and parenting related concerns among a wide range of issues. She brings five years of clinical experience and a straightforward style aimed at helping people make practical changes. Lauren frames therapy as a partnership and aims to give clear steps that clients can use between sessions.

She trained in counseling at the graduate level and has worked in community settings that shaped her hands-on approach.

Background and approach

Early fieldwork included international community work that taught her to meet people where they are and to value humility in clinical work. Lauren offers short-term strategies and longer-term reflection. She uses concrete tools so people leave sessions with a plan for the coming days.

At the same time she encourages insight about patterns that keep problems repeating. Her background includes helping people who have experienced trauma, those recovering from post-traumatic stress, and individuals who have struggled with suicidal thoughts. She also has experience supporting people with chronic anxiety and low self-esteem, guiding them toward increased confidence and hope.

Clients can expect a mix of practical coaching and emotional exploration. Lauren is comfortable offering encouragement and occasional challenge when it helps move someone toward their goals. She emphasizes clear goals and steady progress in therapy.

Her work draws on evidence-informed techniques to address stress, mood concerns, relationship and family problems, addictions, ADHD, grief, and other life transitions. Sessions are intended to be collaborative and oriented toward real-world change.

Approaches and Online Care for Everyday Family Challenges

Lauren blends cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to offer practical skills and emotional regulation tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more useful responses, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for relationship and impulse control concerns.

She treats the choice of approach as a collaborative decision. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods as needed so the plan fits the client’s needs and preferences. Finding the right mix of insight and skills happens over a few sessions rather than all at once.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible options for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to keep consistent contact, practice skills between sessions, and access support from home or work when that fits best.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
