About Tangela
Dr. Tangela Isely is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Texas. She brings 19 years of experience helping people who are managing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and related concerns.
Her style is warm and collaborative, and she aims to make the first steps feel manageable. She blends practical, evidence-based approaches with a person-centered attitude. Sessions focus on understanding what led to current struggles and building clear skills for coping.
How Tangela works
Techniques come from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior frameworks, and she also uses mindfulness and acceptance strategies when they fit. Clients may work on improving sleep, reducing panic or worry, managing mood shifts, or addressing substance and behavioral concerns. Tangela also supports people facing issues tied to identity, caregiving stress, family of origin problems, grief, and career strain.
She notes specific experience with adoption and foster care questions, attachment concerns, hoarding, and first responder stress. Her work often centers on helping people rebuild emotional regulation, set boundaries, and repair communication patterns. Sessions are collaborative - goals are chosen together and adjusted over time.
She pays attention to avoiding retraumatizing approaches and prioritizes steady pacing. Practical matters such as session format and scheduling are handled through an initial intake and matching process. People interested in beginning can expect straightforward steps to get set up and to schedule consistent appointments.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and taking actions that match personal values; it can help with stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which many people find useful for mood instability and intense emotions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences, then try strategies that fit best. Plans are adjusted over time so techniques that help most become part of regular sessions.
Online therapy with Dr. Isely uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video sessions are useful for full conversations and skills practice, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, brief check-ins often happen over chat, and messaging can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different routines.
