About Regina
Regina Angelo-Tarango is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, grief, parenting strain, and family of origin issues. Regina also helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy struggles, and challenges like ADHD and compassion fatigue.
Her approach draws from attachment-based ideas, client-centered work, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Sessions tend to look at how early family roles and expectations shape present reactions. She uses practical conversations and focused techniques to address patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices.
Regina often helps clients notice how childhood experiences influence current behavior and feelings. She talks through communication problems, commitment worries, and caregiver stress in straightforward terms. Work can include looking at guilt, shame, and how cultural background affects family roles.
She uses mindfulness tools and motivational interviewing to support change in daily habits and decision making. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about closeness, boundaries, and trust.
Regina’s style is direct and practical. She asks about what is happening now and where patterns began. People who want clear steps and gentle challenge may find this approach helpful when addressing family of origin issues and related concerns.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns of closeness and distance. It looks at how early relationships affect trust and communication, which is helpful for people noticing repeating family roles. Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and the client’s perspective. It supports people in naming their goals and deciding what changes to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors. It uses specific exercises to test ideas and practice new reactions to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will review concerns, goals, and preferences together and suggest ways of working that fit the person. That collaborative decision can evolve as sessions progress and needs change.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, such as shorter check-ins during a work break or conferencing without travel. It can also allow sessions when people prefer not to use video, or when quieter surroundings and lower bandwidth are practical concerns. Ask about the available session formats when you start the matching process.
