More about Tangela

  • 19 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC, LCPC

I am licensed in Texas, Maine, and Oregon with 19 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, & bipolar disorder. I am a holistic therapist and work on helping you by finding ways to recover using skills of improving your Mind, Body, and Spirit. I also am very interested in hearing your story and finding the origins of the problems you are having. I have been a specialized trauma therapist and this helps me have insight into how the past can be healed in the present without pain or re-traumatization. I use DBT, CBT, and a person-centered approach to help you learn ways to recover. I believe that you are the expert on your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Dr Isely was a major support system during the lowest point of my life. She had a great impact in keeping me focused on self-healing and overcoming trauma and grief overload.
