About Marlo
Marlo Rangel is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing relationship strain, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting stress. She draws on 12 years of practice in Texas to support clients working through trauma, changes, and identity concerns. Marlo writes and talks plainly in sessions so people can take practical next steps.
She focuses on improving communication and building self-esteem. Sessions often address attachment wounds, codependency, and intimacy-related issues. Marlo also supports people handling career stress, burnout, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. She listens first, then helps set small goals that fit daily life. Techniques are chosen to match what each person needs rather than using one fixed method.
Marlo uses client-centered work alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when helpful. She also uses motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques to encourage change and clarify next steps. Those methods are applied in ways that suit the client’s goals.
Clients come to address problems such as family of origin issues, divorce and separation, adoption and foster care concerns, body image, and control or commitment struggles. Marlo aims to help people find clearer choices and more manageable routines. She practices as an LPC in Texas and conducts sessions in English.
People connect with her through a short online matching process and schedule sessions that work with their lives.

How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. In practice this means the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them name what matters most, which can be useful for relationship and parenting concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that maintain problems. It teaches simple skills to change thinking patterns and develop healthier routines for sleep, eating, anxiety, and mood management.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. These techniques help people tolerate distress, regulate emotions, and communicate more clearly during conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and daily life. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is and isn’t working.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work with these approaches. Video calls allow full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit a break at work and use less bandwidth, live chat is useful for short check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum and practice new skills in real life.
