About Regina
Regina Angelo-Tarango is a California licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with individuals on problems like anxiety, grief, relationship and parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, and challenges tied to life transitions. Regina also addresses issues such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, career stress, and intimacy-related struggles.
Her approach centers on helping people notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and relationships. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside attachment-informed work and client-centered methods. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, and on understanding how early relationships affect current choices.
Regina draws on narrative and mindfulness techniques to help people reframe difficult memories and manage strong emotions. She pays attention to family of origin themes, adoption and foster care backgrounds, and multicultural context when these issues are relevant. Communication problems, commitment worries, and caregiver stress are common topics she addresses in sessions.
She has worked with problems related to postpartum depression, panic attacks, domestic violence, and disaster-related stress. Regina encourages clear goals and measurable steps, such as slowing down automatic negative thoughts or practicing a new way of responding in conflict. Her work aims to reduce overwhelming symptoms and increase practical coping skills.
Clients begin by completing a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Regina provides therapy in English and maintains practice in California. The therapist notes that subscription billing is used for sessions and can be canceled at any time.
How therapy approaches are used in online sessions
Regina works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot automatic thoughts and try specific behavior changes. CBT offers clear exercises and short experiments that can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage panic, or shift depressive thinking.She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at patterns that began in early relationships and still influence current partnerships and parenting. These conversations focus on understanding triggers and practicing new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy is applied by keeping the session focused on the client's goals and pacing interventions to what feels workable in the moment.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Regina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. This means checking in about what helps, adjusting techniques, and setting small measurable steps to try between meetings.
