More about Rangelo

- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in Florida, I bring 15 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice centers on creating a compassionate, affirming space where clients can explore personal growth, healing, and self-understanding.
I specialize in addressing a wide range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and interpersonal dynamics. My approach is deeply rooted in cultural sensitivity and respect for individual experiences, particularly for those navigating multicultural identities, sexuality, and personal transformation.
My therapeutic work focuses on helping clients develop stronger self-love, improve communication, overcome social anxiety, and work through challenging life transitions. I'm committed to supporting individuals across diverse backgrounds, with a particular emphasis on understanding the unique intersections of identity, mental health, and personal empowerment.
I believe in a collaborative, client-centered approach that honors each person's unique journey and inherent strengths. Together, we can explore meaningful strategies for personal growth, healing, and creating more fulfilling life experiences.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
