About Marlo

Marlo Rangel is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who helps people work through relationship challenges, family tensions, trauma, mood concerns, and major life changes.

Background and approach

With 12 years of clinical experience, she supports clients confronting anxiety, depression, grief, intimacy-related struggles, and stressors such as workplace pressure and parenting difficulties. Her work also addresses issues like body image, codependency, attachment and abandonment concerns, blended family dynamics, and both eating and sleeping problems.

She blends evidence-informed tools with a client-centered stance, encouraging practical skills for coping and clear communication while also exploring underlying patterns that contribute to emotional pain. Marlo uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy to tailor care to each person's needs.

Her practice emphasizes building resilience, improving self-esteem, and helping clients move toward concrete changes in relationships and daily functioning.

How evidence-informed approaches translate to online care

Marlo commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be useful for managing intense emotions and improving communication patterns.

She also uses a client-centered stance that prioritizes the person's goals and lived experience, creating a collaborative process for selecting the most useful techniques. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of therapy, and the therapist will work together with each client to tailor methods to their needs, preferences, and goals rather than applying a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and lets clients access care from home or other convenient locations. These formats support continued skill practice between sessions and make it easier to fit therapeutic work into busy lives while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
