About Tangela
Dr. Tangela Isely is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 19 years of experience working with adults in Texas. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and a wide range of life and relationship concerns. Dr. Isely uses established therapy methods to help people address patterns that began in childhood and continue to affect their daily life.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help people change unhelpful thinking and learn practical coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness approaches appear in sessions to support emotional awareness and values-based decisions. Her style emphasizes listening closely and working collaboratively on one step at a time.
Many clients bring patterns that trace back to family roles and expectations. Dr. Isely helps people identify those family of origin issues and understand how they influence current relationships, boundaries, and self-worth. She also addresses attachment questions, codependency, abandonment, and communication problems when these come up.
Sessions typically involve clear goals, homework or practice between meetings, and skill-building for emotion regulation and problem solving. She also supports people facing grief, caregiving stress, addiction concerns, sleep and eating problems, and work-related strain.
Prospective clients should know she practices in Texas and conducts work in English. For next steps she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can talk about priorities and plan a practical path forward.

DBT teaches concrete tools people can use during difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help clients decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process with regular check-ins about what is helping and what could change.
