About Tangela
Dr. Tangela Isely is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 19 years of experience. She approaches therapy with a calm, person-centered style. Tangela focuses on practical steps that help people manage anxiety, sleep problems, depression, and trauma. She listens closely and aims to make hard conversations feel safer and clearer.
Her work blends several evidence-based methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is used to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness practices help clients live by their values even when problems persist.
Tangela has supported people through grief, caregiving stress, addiction, and concerns related to identity and relationships. She also addresses family of origin issues, adoption and foster care concerns, hoarding, and first responder stress. Sleep and rest are among the areas she helps people with when sleep difficulties affect mood and daily life.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She asks questions, listens to what matters most, and builds steps that fit daily life. She encourages small, doable changes and checks in about what is and isn’t working.

How her approaches guide online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take small steps toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors that maintain anxiety or insomnia. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing emotions and improving coping in intense moments.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what fits each person's needs and preferences. They work together to find strategies that feel practical and manageable.

Sessions can be used to learn coping tools, review sleep habits, and practice mindfulness exercises between meetings. Ask about available formats when you schedule to make sure they meet your day-to-day needs.
