About Tangela

Dr. Tangela Isely is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 19 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by listening first and then working together on practical steps forward. She is based in Texas and offers a calm, respectful presence for people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, and related concerns.

Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered care. That means sessions often include learning concrete skills, trying new ways of thinking, and being heard without judgment. She aims to reduce re-traumatization and to help people feel safer as they address painful memories or current stressors.

Dr. Isely also supports people dealing with grief, relationship conflict, substance use, compulsive behaviors, sleep and eating struggles, and identity questions such as LGBT concerns. She pays attention to family of origin issues, attachment wounds, abandonment, caregiver stress, and first responder concerns when relevant to a person's story.

Sessions tend to focus on clear goals and doable tools, like emotion regulation skills, behavior changes, and value-driven choices. The therapist works collaboratively and adjusts methods to fit each person's needs and pace. Taking the first step can be hard, and she aims to make that step feel understandable and manageable.

How proven approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It often supports people coping with depression, major life shifts, and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, then testing and changing them; it can help with mood, anxiety, sleep, and habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, which can be useful for intense emotions and relationship stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to try first, adjust what isn't helpful, and set goals together. That means trying concrete skills and checking in frequently to see what fits each person's needs and pace.

Confirm the specific session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins around a work break, sessions that avoid travel time, or options that reduce the need to be on camera. Therapists who offer remote care aim to help clients practice skills in the routines and settings where problems occur, so progress can carry over into everyday life.
