About Regina
Regina Angelo-Tarango is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 17 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and parenting concerns. She practices in California and offers straightforward support for people facing life transitions, mood concerns, trauma, and work-related stress. Regina uses clear, practical approaches to help clients make changes that matter in day-to-day life.
Her work centers on attachment and relationship patterns and how these shape current challenges.
Background and approach
She blends attachment-based ideas with client-centered conversation so people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral tools are used when clients want concrete steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Regina also incorporates mindfulness and motivational interviewing to help people notice patterns and build motivation for change.
Sessions focus on small, doable practices and short-term tools alongside deeper reflection about family of origin and past losses. She pays attention to multicultural concerns and how identity, culture, and background affect relationships and coping. Parents often come for help with parenting stress, postpartum adjustment, adoption or foster care questions, and attachment concerns.
Regina frames goals in practical terms like better communication, clearer boundaries, improved mood, and calmer moments at home. She supports people working on abandonment, commitment, or caregiver stress issues. Her style is warm and direct.
Regina helps clients set realistic steps, track progress, and adjust plans as needed. People leave sessions with specific ideas to try between meetings and a clearer sense of next steps.

Attachment, CBT, and mindful work delivered online
Regina commonly uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and how to build more stable connections.She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. These tools are useful for anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and for parents wanting practical steps to change reactions and routines.
Mindfulness is woven into sessions to help people notice stress, grounding, and breathing patterns. It pairs well with the other approaches when people want short practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Regina will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, cultural background, and daily life. Together they set small goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video sessions support face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging helps keep continuity between meetings.
