Svetlana Rangel, LPC

Svetlana Rangel is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and the strain of life changes. She also supports concerns like relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, eating and sleeping troubles, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She is bilingual in English and Russian and practices in Texas.

Svetlana uses straightforward, compassionate conversation to help people find clearer thinking and steadier emotion. Sessions tend to focus on what is useful now - small changes that make daily life easier. She listens for how culture, background, and personal history shape each person’s concerns.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and build new, practical skills. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people connect with values and take manageable steps toward them. In some situations she integrates client-centered and solution-focused methods to keep work focused and collaborative.

Svetlana has three years of clinical experience and holds a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. She brings her own bilingual and bicultural perspective into sessions to better understand how identity and immigration-related stress can affect mood and relationships.

People who prefer a warm, interactive style may find her approach approachable and clear. She tailors discussions and plans to each person’s specific needs and goals, and works with clients to try practical strategies they can use between sessions.

How Svetlana Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying out different ways of thinking and behaving. It’s often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing ADHD symptoms by teaching concrete skills to change daily patterns.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, while staying connected to personal values. This approach can help with grief, chronic stress, and making life changes that matter. Client-centered therapy prioritizes a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation so the person leads the pace and focus of the work.

Choosing the best approach is part of the process. Svetlana works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning may blend techniques from CBT, ACT, and client-centered work depending on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is good for a full session with visual cues, phone can be helpful when bandwidth is low, live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins or reflection between meetings. These options aim to fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
