About Svetlana

Svetlana Rangel is a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

She also supports clients dealing with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting and family challenges, eating and sleeping issues, anger and self-esteem difficulties, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Additional areas of focus include divorce and separation, forgiveness and guilt, immigration-related concerns, multicultural issues, midlife transitions, and military-related topics.

Her therapeutic manner is warm, interactive, and grounded in respect and sensitivity. She blends cognitive behavioral techniques with acceptance and commitment principles and a client-centered stance to tailor each conversation and plan to the individual.

EMDR and solution-focused strategies are also available when trauma processing or goal-oriented work is appropriate. Svetlana draws on three years of clinical experience and her bilingual background to inform culturally aware care.

Based in Texas and credentialed as an LPC (TX LPC 82680), she offers sessions in English and Russian. People interested in beginning work with her can expect collaborative goal-setting, practical skills development, and adjustments to treatment approaches based on each person’s needs and progress.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

She regularly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, a practical approach that often targets anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another core method she draws on; it focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility to navigate difficult emotions and life changes. She also brings a client-centered orientation that emphasizes empathy, active listening, and tailoring the pace and focus of work to each person’s experience.

Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and response to initial interventions, and adjusts methods as needed so the plan fits the individual’s circumstances and priorities.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These formats make it easier to schedule regular appointments around work, family, or geographic limitations and allow for practical skill-building and check-ins between live sessions.
