About Ivanna
Ivanna Troch-Candelo is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She supports people facing relationship strains, family problems, trauma and abuse, grief, and career transitions. Ivanna also addresses related issues such as attachment difficulties, avoidant and dependent personality patterns, commitment and control problems, and communication struggles.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She works with clients on communication skills and on understanding repeating patterns that get in the way of connection. Sessions often focus on processing guilt, shame, and loss, and on identifying small, manageable steps toward clearer choices at work and in relationships.
Ivanna includes attention to cultural and immigration concerns when relevant. She has experience with first responder issues and the stresses that come with high-demand roles. She also supports people dealing with emptiness, impulsivity, and family-of-origin challenges.
In session she aims to build an honest working relationship and to help people practice different ways of relating. That can mean learning new communication habits, experimenting with boundaries, or revisiting painful events at a pace the client can handle. She offers help in English and Spanish.

Approaches used and how online sessions fit
Ivanna draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationship patterns and symptom relief. One common approach she uses looks at how past attachment experiences shape current relationships; this helps people see why they react a certain way and practice different responses.Another approach centers on skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. This involves learning concrete tools for de-escalation, clearer requests, and boundary setting, which can reduce conflict and increase mutual understanding.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Ivanna collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, strengths, and pace. She will check in about what is working and adjust the plan together as needed.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time, and follow up more frequently between major life events. They also allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited or for audio-only conversations when bandwidth is low. Ask about current options during the matching process to pick the most practical format for everyday life.
