About Regina

Regina Angelo-Tarango is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, practicing in California with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma and anger. Regina helps people who are adjusting to big life changes and those navigating parenting, career pressure, or ongoing low mood.

Her approach draws from attachment-based ideas and client-centered practice. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to address how thoughts and habits keep problems going. Sessions often include talking through relationship patterns and looking at early influences on current reactions.

Regina also brings motivational interviewing and narrative techniques into her work. That means she helps clients clarify what matters to them and the stories they tell about themselves. These methods are offered alongside practical skills for managing panic, grief, and mood shifts.

She has experience with issues tied to adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, and attachment challenges. Regina supports people dealing with guilt, shame, and the fallout from domestic violence or other trauma-related experiences.

People who come for help with anger often look at communication problems, boundaries, and how family history shapes responses. Regina helps clients build clearer ways to express frustration and repair relationships after heated moments.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Regina integrates attachment-based therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Attachment-based therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current reactions. It helps with relationship strain, trust issues, and recurring anger linked to connection wounds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new responses. It is commonly used for anxiety, panic, low mood, and managing angry reactions.

She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize the client's perspective and goals. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try approaches that fit those needs together.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work or family schedules, shorten commute time, and allow for different ways to check in such as audio or video depending on what is offered. These practical benefits help people maintain regular sessions while juggling daily responsibilities.
