About Marlo

Marlo Rangel is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people facing relationship problems, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes. She also works with concerns such as parenting strain, intimacy issues, body image, eating and sleeping problems, work stress, and low self-esteem. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at practical steps people can use between sessions.

With 12 years of experience Marlo focuses on making therapy useful and understandable. She listens for what matters most and then helps people set clear, achievable goals. Sessions often include learning communication skills, managing strong emotions, and building routines that reduce overwhelm.

Marlo draws on client-centered methods to prioritize each person’s experience. She also integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior strategies to manage intense emotions. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools are used when people want short-term direction or to increase readiness for change.

Her work includes attention to family-of-origin issues, blended family challenges, attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care questions, and the impacts of domestic violence. She also supports those dealing with career stress, compassion fatigue, and bipolar mood concerns.

People who meet with Marlo can expect straightforward conversation, practical skills to try at home, and collaborative planning for next steps. To begin, readers should confirm session options and scheduling details before booking.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person without judgment. Online sessions let the therapist and client talk through what matters most and build goals together, using reflection and open questions to guide progress.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. In an online setting this often looks like short exercises, thought records, and homework tasks to practice between meetings to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress.

Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Online work can cover emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness with practical skill practice and role-play adapted to remote sessions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. Marlo will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and change the plan as needed. She aims to match techniques to each person's needs rather than sticking rigidly to one model.

Session logistics are not detailed in the biography, so confirm available formats before booking. Many people find online therapy helpful for fitting appointments into busy schedules, reducing travel time, and making it easier to check in between obligations. Discuss practical arrangements and pacing with the therapist when scheduling.
