About Marlo
Marlo Rangel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of experience. She focuses on relationship concerns, family stress, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, grief, and life changes. Marlo also addresses intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, and career uncertainty.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She emphasizes clearer communication and building everyday skills that reduce overwhelming feelings. Sessions look at patterns from family of origin, attachment, and past losses that influence current choices. She uses methods that help people test small changes and measure what works in real life.
Marlo uses client-centered work to listen closely to what matters to each person. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical behavior strategies and solution-focused tools are used when managing strong emotions or setting short-term goals.
She pays attention to issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care history, blended family concerns, body image, codependency, and control problems. Marlo offers support for those dealing with domestic violence effects, separation or divorce, and complicated family relationships.
Clients can expect direct conversations about patterns that keep them stuck and practical steps to try between sessions. She helps people untangle commitments, communication blocks, and problems with self-esteem. Her work is aimed at helping people find clearer next steps after a big life change or when they feel directionless.
How Marlo applies therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a clear space to name values, concerns, and priorities so they can make choices that fit their life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses exercises and experiments to shift unhelpful thinking and build different habits for mood, anxiety, or sleep difficulties.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful for people who feel overwhelmed by strong feelings or repeated relationship conflicts.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will help identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust as work progresses so the plan fits the client's needs and preferences.
Confirm current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. Other practical benefits include shorter check-ins by phone when needed and not having to travel to attend a session. These conveniences can make regular meetings more manageable while working on relationship, trauma, or life-transition issues.
