About Tangela
Dr. Tangela Isely is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 19 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, and the everyday problems that make life harder.
Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She listens first, and then helps people name what feels most urgent. Sessions are collaborative and practical, with simple strategies clients can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Dr. Isely draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to manage intense emotions. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help people find what matters to them and act on it.
She has worked with a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including relationship and communication problems, grief, parenting stress, addiction, compassion fatigue, and issues related to adoption and attachment. She also helps people struggling with sleep, eating, hoarding, and career difficulties.
People who come to her often want a safe place to tell their story and practical steps to feel better. Dr. Isely aims to reduce re-traumatization and to build coping skills that fit each person’s life.
Her practice is based in Texas and she offers support using multiple online session formats to fit different schedules.
Approach-focused care for online sessions
Dr. Isely uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood. She also works with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another tool she uses to help people clarify values and take small actions toward a meaningful life.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then try techniques that fit the situation. If something does not feel like a good fit, she adjusts the plan so it matches what the person needs and wants.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills, phone sessions can work for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can support quick coping reminders or ongoing check-ins between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to keep consistent progress.
