Dr. Tangela Isely is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 19 years of experience. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and self esteem concerns. Her style is compassionate and straightforward, aimed at making the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or uncertain.
She uses approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Client-Centered and Mindfulness therapies. In sessions she listens first, then helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck. Together they build practical skills to reduce distress and make daily life feel more workable.
Her work covers a wide range of concerns including grief, addiction, anger, sleep and eating problems, career strain, and caregiver stress. She also addresses attachment issues, codependency, hoarding, and challenges linked to adoption and family of origin. These areas are woven into goal-focused conversations rather than one-size-fits-all plans.
Dr. Isely practices in Texas and communicates in English. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where the person’s story guides the pace and the techniques chosen. Many who start therapy with her appreciate a clear plan they can try between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work
The therapist uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors, which can reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance, useful for anger, mood instability, and interpersonal stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values and committed action, helping people live toward what matters even with difficult feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist discusses needs and goals with each person and collaboratively chooses which methods to try. That means techniques can be adjusted over time based on what is helpful and what fits someone’s daily life.
Session format options are not specified here, so confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, require less travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to practice skills between sessions in real-life settings and bring those experiences back to therapy for discussion.
