About Tangela
Dr. Tangela Isely is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 19 years of experience. She practices in Texas and lists work with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem, and related concerns.
She uses straightforward, evidence-based work in sessions so people can talk through what feels overwhelming. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) alongside client-centered care. Those approaches are used to help with symptoms, daily coping, and managing strong emotions.
In practical terms she listens first and helps people notice how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Then she introduces concrete skills to reduce distress and build habits that support everyday functioning. Mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ideas are woven in when they fit the person's goals.
Dr. Isely has experience with a broad range of concerns beyond anxiety, including grief, addiction, ADHD, relationship and family issues, parenting strain, and work-related stress. She also addresses attachment, abandonment, first responder stress, and hoarding when relevant.
Sessions are collaborative and focused on clear steps a person can use between meetings. To begin, people fill out a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so therapy can start with a clear plan.
How therapy approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then move toward things that matter. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client talk about goals and preferences and choose methods that fit the person's needs. That collaborative planning can include short skill practice, behavioral experiments, or regular check-ins to track what helps.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people try therapeutic skills in ordinary settings and bring real-life examples into sessions.
