Svetlana Rangel, LPC

Svetlana Rangel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She welcomes clients who are dealing with depression, grief, trauma, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She also supports those facing issues around identity, eating and sleeping, career stress, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

She draws on a mix of approaches to fit each person's needs. Sessions are warm and interactive. She focuses on respectful and compassionate conversation that centers the client's experience.

Svetlana brings her bilingual and bicultural background into sessions. That lived experience shapes how she understands culture, belonging, and identity. She has experience helping people who faced physical trauma or emotional abuse and those adjusting to immigration-related stress.

Her work emphasizes practical skills and short-term goals alongside deeper processing when needed. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and solution-focused ideas to build small, useful changes. She also uses person-centered principles to create a supportive space for exploration.

Clients can expect a tailored plan that matches their goals and preferences. Svetlana combines active guidance with listening and reflection. Her style aims to make therapy clear, direct, and useful for daily life.

How Svetlana’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and supporting the client's own pace and priorities during change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Svetlana will work with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their situation. Together they will adjust the plan over time based on what works and what feels most helpful.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing quicker check-ins between appointments. It can also allow sessions when someone needs a shorter or quieter meeting that doesn't require video. Licensed professionals can use these approaches effectively in remote sessions, adapting exercises and homework to suit each person's routine.
