About Marlo

Marlo Rangel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage anger and other strong emotions. She supports clients facing relationship struggles, grief, depression, anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Marlo aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people juggling busy lives.

She uses clear, evidence-informed methods to help clients name patterns and try new ways of coping. Sessions focus on improving communication, building self-worth, and reducing reactivity in heated moments. Marlo also helps people process past trauma and handle challenges like workplace stress, body image concerns, and parenting strain.

Marlo draws on 12 years of experience to tailor sessions to each person. She emphasizes a respectful, culturally aware stance and invites clients to bring their values into the work. The goal is steady progress through manageable steps rather than sudden fixes.

Clients can expect a collaborative style where the therapist listens, asks practical questions, and offers tools to practice between sessions. Techniques may include thought-focused work, emotion regulation skills, and goal-setting to support daily functioning. Marlo encourages trying small changes and tracking what helps.

Her background includes focused work with trauma, mood issues, and complex family-of-origin concerns. Marlo works with a range of life issues such as adoption and foster care questions, attachment struggles, communication problems, and recovery from domestic violence. She invites people to start by describing what feels most urgent and building a plan from there.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and decide what changes matter most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. It teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and reduce anger, anxiety, or depressive symptoms.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills. It can be useful for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past experiences, and preferences, then recommend methods to try. That plan can be adjusted over time as needs change.

For online therapy logistics, please confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can guide how to use between-session tools and practice skills in everyday moments to support steady progress.
