About Regina

Regina Angelo-Tarango is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage anger and related concerns like stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship strain. Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aimed at making change feel possible in everyday life.

Regina draws on attachment-based thinking to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. She uses client-centered approaches to listen and reflect what matters most to each person.

Background and approach

Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice different behaviors in real situations. In sessions she helps people handle parenting stress, career transitions, and the fallout from trauma or loss. Regina also supports work on self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, and coping with mood changes.

She addresses multicultural concerns and challenges related to adoption, foster care, and caregiver strain. Her way of working mixes practical skills with personal meaning. That can look like learning breathing and grounding skills, testing new ways to speak up, and reworking long-held stories about worth and safety.

Regina encourages steady small steps so gains can hold up over time. People who connect with her often want a therapist who listens without judgment and helps them try methods that fit their life. She approaches each person as an individual and tailors sessions to real-world needs and goals.

Approaches that guide online work and practical steps

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early bonds shape reactions now. It helps when anger, fear, or mistrust trace back to important relationships and aims to build steadier ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience. The therapist listens closely, reflects what matters, and helps clients find their own pace for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete exercises to challenge unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors in everyday situations.

Choosing which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try practical exercises, and adjust methods based on what helps most. The aim is to find a combination that fits the person’s life and feels useful rather than forcing a single method.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options let people work on anger, stress, or relationship concerns without traveling and with scheduling choices that match their routine.
