About Tangela
Dr. Tangela Isely is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing with 19 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and relationship and family concerns. Tangela also supports people facing codependency, grief, addiction, parenting strain, and challenges with attention and mood regulation.
She uses practical, evidence-based methods such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and a client-centered approach. In sessions she listens, asks clear questions, and helps people name patterns that keep them stuck. The focus is on small, workable steps clients can try between sessions.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice across multiple states. That experience guides how she helps people cope with major life changes, caregiver stress, and the fallout from trauma. She pays attention to family-of-origin patterns, abandonment issues, and communication problems that often underlie current struggles.
Tangela draws on mindfulness skills and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people tolerate difficult feelings without getting driven by them. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set concrete goals and track progress. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with space to process feelings as they come.
People who come for help with codependency or people-pleasing learn how to recognize reactive patterns and practice new boundary habits. The work is paced to the client, with practical tools and clear explanations so changes can fit into everyday life.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for handling avoidance, grief, and emptiness by focusing on what matters day to day. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions to change patterns that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress through concrete exercises and homework.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist talks with each person about their goals, symptoms, and what feels doable. Together they try methods and adjust them based on what helps most, keeping the focus on practical steps that fit the person's life.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. Some methods, like CBT worksheets or ACT exercises, translate well to remote sessions and can be practiced between meetings to build new habits.
