01About Maria
Maria Rangel-Gomez is a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor working in Texas. She speaks English and Spanish and brings 16 years of clinical experience to sessions. She helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain, or past trauma.
Her approach is practical and straightforward, aimed at making everyday life feel more manageable. Maria aims to create a welcoming space where people can speak openly about their thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
She focuses on clear goals and useful tools rather than long explanations. Sessions move at a pace the client finds comfortable, with attention to real-life problems and steps to improve them. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought patterns and to build better habits.
For people affected by traumatic events, Trauma-Focused Therapy is applied to reduce symptom burden and improve daily functioning. These methods are adapted to a person’s needs rather than used the same way for everyone. People who come to Maria may be navigating abandonment wounds, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, codependency, or communication and commitment concerns.
She also supports those facing midlife questions, life-purpose struggles, impulsivity, or issues tied to veteran and armed forces experiences. Sessions can happen through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Maria works with each person to pick the format and pace that fit their life and goals.

04Online support
Evidence-based approaches for online support
Maria commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT often involves setting clear goals, trying new actions between sessions, and tracking progress to cut down anxiety and improve mood.She also uses Trauma-Focused Therapy when past traumatic events affect daily life. This approach works on processing difficult memories and developing skills to reduce the impact of those memories on current functioning and relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they adjust methods and pace so the work feels useful and manageable.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this work. Video calls let people use visual cues and more conversational sessions, while phone meetings can be easier when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick reflections, ongoing skill practice, and flexible check-ins between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to try different formats to see what works best.
