About Marlo

Marlo Rangel, LPC, helps people facing big life changes and emotional strain. She focuses on relationship problems, stress, anxiety, grief, and midlife concerns. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping clients take practical steps forward.

She uses clear conversation to identify what matters most to each person. Sessions often include skill building for stress and mood management, and communication practice for relationship tensions. Marlo emphasizes self-compassion and realistic goals rather than quick fixes.

Her background includes 12 years of work with people who have experienced trauma, mood disorders, and difficult family dynamics. She brings that experience to sessions while attending to each person’s cultural context and life story. The Texas license shown is Licensed Professional Counselor, or LPC.

Marlo blends approaches to match the issue at hand. That can mean looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing new coping skills, or focusing on short-term solutions to get relief. She encourages steady progress and checks in on what is or isn’t working.

People meet her for help with intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, career stress, body image, and complex grief. She also supports those coping with adoption and foster care questions, abandonment, and family of origin wounds. The aim is clearer choices and stronger day-to-day coping.

How Marlo’s approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel heard and work toward goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills useful for overwhelming emotions and relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marlo will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods fit best. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during therapy.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people choose quieter surroundings, avoid camera use on some days, or schedule sessions around work and family commitments. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to an online setting to help people learn new skills and cope with life transitions.
