About Marlo

Marlo Rangel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing stress, anxiety, and major life changes. She supports those coping with relationship strain, grief, mood shifts, and the aftereffects of trauma. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more connected to their daily lives.

She uses practical tools to address worry, low mood, and trouble sleeping. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small steps that can make a difference. Marlo emphasizes clearer communication and stronger self-care habits so clients can handle pressure at home and at work.

Over 12 years of practice have shaped a flexible approach. She combines client-centered listening with strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when useful. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques also appear when someone wants focused, goal-driven work.

Marlo describes her work as culturally aware and compassionate. She aims to make therapy feel like a steady place to talk things through without judgment. Many people come in feeling stuck; sessions are designed to help them find practical ways forward.

Her background includes supporting people through attachment issues, family of origin concerns, abandonment, and the emotional effects of adoption and foster care. She also addresses eating and body-image worries, codependency, communication problems, and challenges related to career and self-esteem.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding a person's perspective and building trust through empathic listening. It helps people feel heard and supported while they talk through stress, relationship concerns, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It uses clear exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change unhelpful habits.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It teaches practical tools for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication.

Picking the right approach is part of the work. Marlo will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats available before booking since options are not listed here. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy lives, allow shorter check-ins during the day, and reduce travel time. Ask about scheduling details and session length when you complete the matching questionnaire so appointments can be arranged to fit everyday routines.
