About Regina

Regina Angelo-Tarango is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 17 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, career questions, and life changes. Regina also lists ADHD, compassion fatigue, and a range of attachment and family origin issues among her clinical focuses.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered methods. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to help people notice unhelpful patterns and learn practical skills. Sessions often include looking at early relationships and how they shape current choices and feelings.

Regina brings experience addressing trauma, perinatal mood concerns, and loss. She has worked with people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, caregiver stress, domestic violence aftermath, and multicultural concerns. Practical problem-solving and emotion awareness are common parts of her work.

She describes therapy as a place to talk without shame and to consider health, spirituality, and life experience when making changes. Expect a conversational style that helps identify patterns, try new behaviors, and track small gains over time.

Regina’s background includes years working with individuals as they adjust to big life transitions and rebuild after difficult events. People seeking help with panic, mood issues, communication problems, or parenting stresses can find clear strategies and steady support in her sessions.

How attachment, client-centered, and CBT work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape present feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help people notice these patterns and practice different ways of relating in everyday life. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says so they can clarify goals and feel understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful habits and reduce symptoms.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Regina collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice is revisited as progress is tracked and new concerns come up, so therapy adapts over time.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not feasible, and remove the need to travel to appointments. These practical benefits can help people balance study, work, and relationships while getting regular support from a licensed professional.
