About Marlo
Marlo Rangel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 12 years of experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, family issues, trauma and abuse, depression, stress, and anxiety. Marlo also helps with grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting pressures, and problems with self-esteem or anger.
Marlo uses straightforward, person-focused methods in sessions. She listens to what matters most and helps clients name patterns that keep them stuck. Practical tools are introduced when they fit the person's goals, such as ways to cope with stress or to improve communication in close relationships.
Her background includes long-term work with trauma, mood concerns, and family-of-origin problems. Over the years she has worked with people dealing with abandonment, attachment, blended family issues, and recovery from domestic violence. That experience informs how she supports people working through guilt and shame tied to relationships or past events.
Sessions draw on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Those approaches are used to identify unhelpful thoughts, build emotion regulation skills, and set clear, manageable goals.
Marlo aims to help clients clarify what they want to change and take small, doable steps toward it. She encourages practical behavior shifts alongside attention to emotions. Many people come for help with decision making, communication problems, and recovering from painful experiences.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person, helping them clarify values and goals. It is useful when someone needs a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to talk through difficult choices and painful memories.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Online CBT often includes short skill practice between sessions and worksheets to notice patterns that feed guilt or shame.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. Those skills can help when shame or intense emotions make it hard to cope or communicate clearly.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose and adjust methods based on their goals, preferences, and what shows progress in early sessions. That collaborative process helps keep therapy focused and practical.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use phone-only sessions when video is not convenient, or schedule sessions that fall around work or family commitments.
