About Marlo

Marlo Rangel is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 12 years of experience based in Texas. She helps people who are dealing with relationship strain, family tensions, trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and stress. Her work also covers intimacy issues, body image and eating concerns, sleep problems, and career-related stress.

Marlo aims to make therapy practical and understandable for people overwhelmed by life changes. She uses straightforward, person-focused methods in sessions.

Background and approach

Conversations focus on what is happening now and what steps feel doable to try next. Marlo leans on approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts, and solution-focused work to set clear, short-term goals. Her practice includes attention to family-related problems such as blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment and abandonment worries, and family of origin patterns.

She also addresses dynamics around codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and domestic violence. Sessions look at patterns and offer practical tools to try between meetings. Marlo holds an LPC license - Licensed Professional Counselor - in Texas (TX LPC 66934).

She combines motivational interviewing to strengthen commitment to change, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy for emotional regulation when needed. The overall aim is to help clients build skills and clarity at a realistic pace. Therapy is offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session once a plan is chosen.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in the room. It emphasizes listening and supporting a person to find their own solutions and build self-understanding, which helps when exploring relationship or family worries.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches specific skills to challenge unhelpful thoughts and to try new behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to each person's needs and preferences.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to keep continuity through life changes. They also allow therapists and clients to practice tools between meetings using written or verbal check-ins, which can support steady progress.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
