About Marlo
Marlo Rangel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing relationship strain, trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, and life transitions. She also supports concerns such as parenting strain, intimacy-related issues, body image, and adoption and foster care questions. Her work emphasizes practical steps people can use right away to feel steadier.
Marlo uses straightforward conversation to uncover what matters most to each person. She listens for patterns that keep someone stuck and suggests small, doable changes to try between visits. Sessions focus on clear goals like improving communication, managing intense emotions, or coping with change at work or home.
Over 12 years of practice, Marlo has worked with people navigating trauma, mood concerns, and complicated family history. She blends ideas from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral approaches, and skills-based strategies to match each person’s needs. She frames progress in everyday terms and tracks what actually improves.
Marlo pays attention to culture and life context when exploring problems. She aims to help clients build self-compassion and stronger coping habits without using jargon. The therapy room is presented as a space to test new ways of relating to self and others.
Practical tools are a regular part of her work - communication practice, emotion regulation skills, and brief problem-solving plans. People often leave sessions with simple, concrete steps to try and a plan for the next conversation.
How her approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and perspectives. It involves open listening and reflections so people feel heard and can decide the next steps. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort values, identity, or relationship priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings interact. It uses clear tools like thought records and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety or depression symptoms. CBT is useful for tackling worry, sleep or eating concerns, and unhelpful patterns in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs and goals. That means checking in together about what helps, what to try next, and adjusting the plan over time.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and let people access a licensed professional without extra travel time. If someone prefers a focus on skill practice, brief exercises and homework can be assigned between meetings to reinforce progress.
