Lauren Del Angel

Lauren Del Angel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who brings five years of clinical experience to sessions. She aims to help people move from feeling stuck to having a clear plan for change. Lauren is straightforward and practical in her work and often gives concrete tools people can use right away.

Lauren earned a master’s degree in Counseling from Loyola Marymount University and has refined her skills over years of practice. Early in her career she spent two years in the Peace Corps, working with families in a small community and learning how to meet people where they are. That work shaped how she approaches clients with humility and respect.

She has supported people who have experienced significant trauma, those recovering from post-traumatic stress, and people who have struggled with suicidal thoughts. Lauren also helps with anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, anger, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, and a broad range of life stressors. Her list of focus areas includes attachment and family of origin issues, caregiver stress, codependency, impulsivity, and ADHD-related challenges.

Lauren blends practical strategies with reflective conversations. She likes to help clients set small goals and leave sessions with a short plan for the coming days. She will guide and encourage, and sometimes push clients to notice patterns that are getting in the way.

Many clients find it helpful that Lauren has long experience as a therapy client herself. She values a relationship where people can say anything without fear of judgment. If someone wants a counselor who listens, validates, and offers tools, Lauren aims to provide that support.

How specific approaches guide online work

Lauren uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and for changing patterns that keep problems going.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT tools can help when emotions feel intense or impulsive.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lauren will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and will suggest which methods to try. The plan is collaborative and can change as needs shift.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand it and make it possible to use mindfulness or grounding practices between appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT tools to work well in remote formats, and Lauren focuses on practical strategies you can use day to day.
