Lauren Del Angel

Lauren Del Angel is a Texas-based counselor with five years of clinical experience. She earned a master’s degree in Counseling from Loyola Marymount University in 2013 and is licensed to practice as a professional counselor in Texas (LPC 71601).

Her interest in supporting others began during her bachelor’s education and expanded during a two-year Peace Corps assignment, where she worked with families in a small community to address struggles and build on existing strengths - an experience that fostered humility and reinforced the value of meeting clients where they are.

Lauren has worked with people who have experienced significant trauma, those recovering from PTSD, and individuals who have had suicidal thoughts. She has also supported clients with very low self-esteem, helping them find hope and grow in confidence. She is well versed, both personally and professionally, in the persistent and often overwhelming nature of anxiety.

Her therapeutic approach centers on helping clients gain insight while developing practical strategies and tools that can be put into practice immediately. Sessions go beyond conversation; she provides concrete techniques and can help create a plan for the days between appointments when that pace suits the client. Ensuring steady progress on each person’s goals is a priority, and she guides, encourages, and, when helpful, challenges clients to move past obstacles they may not realize are holding them back.

Lauren also brings perspective from having been a client herself and notes she was selective about what she sought in a therapist. She values an environment where a person can say anything without fear of being judged and where they feel understood, validated, and even nearly admired in the therapist’s presence. If a prospective client desires that kind of therapeutic relationship, Lauren understands that preference and welcomes them to work together.
