About Svetlana
Svetlana Rangel is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and mood concerns. She speaks English and Russian and brings a warm, interactive style to sessions. Svetlana aims to make therapy feel straightforward and practical for worried parents and busy adults.
She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and build different habits. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and encourage action, and client-centered work to create a respectful, empathetic space for conversation.
Background and approach
Those methods are combined with solution-focused strategies to set clear, short-term goals. Svetlana has three years of clinical experience and holds the LPC credential. She completed undergraduate study in psychology and a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy, and she practices in Texas.
Her bilingual background informs how she talks about culture, identity, and belonging during sessions. In practical terms she keeps sessions interactive and goal-oriented. She can help people who are navigating divorce, parenting stress, first responder issues, immigration-related concerns, or burnout and compassion fatigue.
She also supports work on intimacy, self-esteem, eating and sleeping struggles, and career decisions. Her approach is collaborative: she tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on simple tools, steady progress, and actionable steps people can try between meetings.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when anxiety or difficult feelings show up. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms over time; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Client-Centered Therapy provides a respectful, empathetic space where the person leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and supports what matters most to them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Svetlana will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and straightforward.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper connection. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can work for a quieter check-in. Live chat or text messaging supports shorter updates or ongoing coaching-style contact between longer sessions.
