Lauren Del Angel , LPC

Lauren Del Angel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with five years of clinical experience. She holds a master’s degree in Counseling from Loyola Marymount University (2013) and brings a long-standing commitment to helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Her background includes two years of service in the Peace Corps working directly with families to address local struggles and build on strengths - an experience that shaped her humility and ability to meet people where they are.

She has worked with individuals affected by significant trauma, those recovering from PTSD, and people who have experienced suicidal thoughts. Her practice also supports clients facing low self-esteem, addiction concerns, grief, parenting challenges, sleep and eating issues, and a range of mood and attachment difficulties. Lauren emphasizes practical, evidence-informed strategies alongside opportunities for greater insight, aiming to equip clients with tools they can use between sessions.

Therapeutically she blends structure and compassion, offering concrete skills, collaboratively developed plans, and goal-focused progress checks. Having been a therapy client herself, she prioritizes a trusting, nonjudgmental relationship where people feel understood, validated, and free to speak openly as they work toward meaningful change.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online care

Lauren often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT focuses on concrete strategies and behavioral steps that can reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - skills that are especially helpful for intense mood swings, relationship difficulties, and impulsivity. Motivational Interviewing is used when clients face ambivalence about change, such as with addictions or major life shifts; this approach helps clarify personal goals and strengthen intrinsic motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lauren collaborates with each person to select methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine approaches to create a personalized plan.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, maintain continuity of care during life changes, and access regular support from a therapist regardless of location within the state.
