Regina Angelo-Tarango , LMFT

Regina Angelo-Tarango is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 17 years of clinical experience working with individuals, couples, and families. She brings a relational lens to her work, helping people address the emotional impact of trauma, relationship struggles, grief and loss, and major life transitions while supporting personal growth and adjustment.

Her practice integrates multiple theoretical perspectives, including family systems, attachment theory, narrative approaches, and cognitive behavioral therapy, which she tailors to each person or family she works with. Regina has additional training in trauma-focused interventions, child-parent work, reflective practice, and perinatal mental health, and she attends to factors such as early relationships, physical health, and spirituality when collaborating on therapeutic goals.

Regina works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family problems, parenting and attachment issues, intimacy-related difficulties, grief, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. As an LMFT - a licensed clinician trained in relational and family systems therapy - she emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space that reduces shame and supports clients in exploring solutions and finding greater balance in their lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Regina uses attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses. This approach can be especially helpful for people coping with abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment wounds, and intimacy-related difficulties, offering a framework to rebuild trust and connection.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, panic, and stress. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, useful for addressing mood symptoms, panic attacks, and coping with life changes.

Regina values a client-centered stance that prioritizes each person’s perspective and goals. She works collaboratively with clients to determine which combination of approaches fits their needs, preferences, and treatment goals, adjusting methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Regina can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic limitations. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access support in ways that fit everyday life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor treatment to individual circumstances.
