About Svetlana
Svetlana Rangel helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and depression. She supports those facing life changes, parenting challenges, work strain, relationship concerns, and issues around identity and intimacy. Svetlana speaks English and Russian and practices as an LPC in Texas.
Svetlana keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She listens first, then helps people set clear goals. Her approach is practical and collaborative, with a focus on skills people can use between sessions.
How Svetlana works
Her background includes a bachelor’s in psychology and a master’s in marriage and family therapy. She brings three years of professional experience working with many common concerns, including trauma, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She combines methods from cognitive behavioral work, client-centered listening, acceptance and commitment ideas, EMDR for trauma processing, and solution-focused planning.
Svetlana adapts these methods to the person in front of her rather than following a fixed script. Sessions are available in English and Russian and offered through phone, video, live chat, or text. People who prefer a more conversational, goal-oriented style tend to do well with her way of working.
Svetlana pays attention to cultural factors and immigration-related stress when relevant. She helps with practical steps for coping, managing emotions, and rebuilding routines after difficult events.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-guided action and small steps toward a life that matters to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and problem-focused work. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories through structured sessions that can reduce intensity and help people move forward.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they will try strategies, adjust plans, and pick tools that match the client’s situation and pace.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility. Video lets people work visually and do longer sessions. Phone can fit a shorter check-in or situations with limited bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing contact, written reflections, and brief coaching between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or other obligations while using the same therapeutic methods described above.
