About Regina
Regina Angelo-Tarango is a California licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, intimacy issues, parenting, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, and life transitions. Regina uses clear, practical conversation to help people identify patterns and change what isn’t working.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered methods. Regina also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and reactions. She combines these with motivational interviewing and narrative work to help clients untangle how past experiences affect current relationships.
In sessions she looks at family of origin, attachment history, and life context to find concrete next steps. Expect direct but respectful feedback, gentle challenges to unhelpful thinking, and simple experiments to practice between meetings. She also addresses issues like abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, commitment and communication problems, and multicultural concerns.
Regina brings experience with postpartum depression, panic and mood disorders, coping after disasters, domestic violence, and compassion fatigue. She also works with people dealing with grief, loss, and changes at work or in parenting roles. Her practical focus is on improving daily interactions and reducing the emotional build-up that leads to outbursts.
Sessions are offered in English and are based in California. When someone is ready to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so work can begin on specific goals.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and relationships. Online sessions can be used to map those patterns and practice new ways of relating in real time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it lends itself to short skill-building exercises and homework between meetings. Mindfulness practice teaches simple attention and breathing techniques to reduce reactivity and stress during tense moments.Deciding which approach to prioritize is part of the collaboration. Regina will talk with each person about their goals and daily routine, then suggest a mix of attachment, CBT, or mindfulness tools that fit those needs. The plan can change as progress is made and new issues come up.
The practical benefit of remote sessions is fitting therapy into a busy life. Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to schedule short check-ins, avoid travel time, and practice skills in the settings where problems occur. Regina aims to help people translate what is learned in sessions into calmer interactions during work, parenting, and relationships.
