My name is Svetlana Rangel.I am Licensed Professional Counselor.I have a bachelor degree in psychology from University of Louisville KY and masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from OLLU San Antonio Texas. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. Having the lived experience as a bilingual and bicultural person, I possess a unique understanding of the impact of culture on our experiences, self-worth, and approach to life. I am adept at helping children of immigrants address needs special to their situation (e.g., fears of "fitting in", other anxiety-related problems, depression).
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, person centered and solution focused therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Svetlana is exactly what I was looking for in a therapist.
Svetlana has been amazing. I think she's a great blend of caring and analytical, conversational and pointed. Her advice and insight is good and her suggestions are helpful. I feel lighter after every session, and she's really helped me overcome some of my past issues and work through current issues. Thank you Svetlana!
It is nice to have someone to talk to and encourage the growth that is taking place in my life. I am glad that I decide to sign up for BetterHelp.
She makes me feel safe and listened to. She helps me with healthy ways of coping and approaching any type of problem in my life.
I’m not very good at reviews… but Svetlana Rangel is the first therapist I have liked and opened up to I have been through 3 others throughout my life and talking to them just made me feel judged and that everything was just my fault and that I was just crazy one was so way off he told me I hate women which is not true so I’m glad to have a therapist who has actually helped me and for the first time in my life and I’m 41 I feel like my therapist is actually helping me in a real way so thank you! Svetlana Rangel For helping me I truly appreciate the help you are giving me.
I have had experience with 3 different therapists over the years Svetlana is my 4th and by leaps and bounds is better then any of the last she lets me say things in my own way and is still able to understand me and give excellent feed back and provides me ways of thinking of things or looking at things that don’t come off like she is just trying to make me feel good but that I can actually connect with and put into practice in my life she is awesome and I’m truly thankful she is my therapist.
