About Tangela

She focuses on helping people who are dealing with anxiety, trauma, depression, stress, and related concerns. Dr. Isely aims to create a listening space where people feel heard and respected as they consider change.

Her work draws on mindfulness-based approaches alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She emphasizes a person-centered style that centers the client’s story and priorities. Sessions are collaborative and paced to avoid re-traumatization while building practical skills.

Dr. Isely has helped people address a wide range of challenges, including addictions, grief, chronic anger, and complications tied to parenting and family of origin. She also supports clients facing career stress, compassion fatigue, and difficulties with attention and mood regulation. Her additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and hoarding concerns.

In the room she listens first and follows the lead of each person’s needs. She blends mindfulness exercises with skill-building strategies from CBT and DBT to manage symptoms and change unhelpful patterns. People can expect straightforward tools, reflective conversation, and attention to the practical steps that fit daily life.

Mindfulness and skills-based approaches for online care

Mindfulness Therapy focuses on paying gentle attention to the present moment. It helps reduce reactivity to stress and makes it easier to notice habits that cause distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to identify values and take workable steps toward them while accepting uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns and ease symptoms of anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person’s priorities, goals, and comfort level. Together they try techniques, notice what helps, and adjust the plan so it feels useful and realistic for everyday life.

Session logistics and formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online work can also let the therapist guide mindfulness practices and teach CBT or DBT skills in ways that transfer directly into daily routines.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
