About Regina

Regina Angelo-Tarango is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. She brings 17 years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship strain, and life changes. Regina creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can name what’s hard and try practical steps forward.

Regina draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. She also uses client-centered listening to follow each person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her approach when people want concrete tools to shift thoughts and behaviors.

She has worked with clients dealing with parenting concerns, adoption and foster care-related issues, caregiver stress, and postpartum mood changes. Regina also addresses intimacy concerns, commitment and communication problems, anger, and self-esteem. Her work includes support for people managing career shifts, compassion fatigue, and multicultural questions.

Sessions usually focus on clear goals and small, doable changes. Regina uses listening, reflective questions, and gentle challenges to help people try new responses. She helps clients sort through grief, rebuild trust after trauma, and practice communication skills that reduce conflict.

Regina emphasizes collaboration - clients set priorities and progress is checked together. People who want a thoughtful, steady therapist to work through life transitions may find her approach helpful.

How her approaches shape online work

Regina blends attachment-based and client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral techniques to guide online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how earlier relationships influence current patterns and helps people try different ways of connecting. Client-centered work means sessions are led by the person’s concerns, with the therapist listening and reflecting rather than directing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers specific exercises and thought-focused tools to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Regina will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then use the methods that fit best. The process is collaborative - goals are set together and adjusted as needed.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make scheduling around work, caregiving, or medical appointments simpler while keeping focus on practical steps and relationship patterns.
