Ivanna Troch-Candelo

Ivanna Troch-Candelo is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, and career uncertainty. Ivanna also supports concerns such as attachment patterns, avoidance or dependent behaviors, commitment worries, and questions about life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Ivanna focuses on clear, practical conversation rather than jargon. She uses straightforward skills training and reflective discussion to help people notice patterns that get in the way. Expect work on communication, handling guilt and shame, and managing impulses or control issues. Therapy can also include processing losses and coping with disaster-related stress.

Her background includes attention to immigration and first responder stress, and to struggles that come from family of origin and parenting roles. She helps people untangle where relationship habits started and how they play out now. That can mean learning new ways to set boundaries, speak up, or make different choices about commitment.

Ivanna frames therapy around real-life steps people can try between sessions. She invites practical experiments in how to interact differently, then reviews what changed. Progress is approached in small, observable shifts rather than promises about big outcomes.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used. The practice uses a subscription billing model that can be canceled at any time, and sessions vary in cost with location. International clients are not accepted.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Ivanna works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on what people do and say in relationships. One approach involves skills-based work on communication and boundary-setting to reduce recurring conflict and improve everyday interactions. Another approach centers on processing trauma and grief through guided conversation and phased pacing so memories and feelings can be addressed without overwhelming the person.

Finding the best fit is collaborative. Ivanna will discuss which techniques match a client's goals and preferences, and adapt the plan as sessions progress. Clients and therapist review what helps and what to change, focusing on practical steps that can be tried between meetings.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biographical information, so please confirm current options before booking. The online context can make it easier to fit therapy into work and family schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals use these formats to help clients apply skills in real life and keep therapy consistent alongside daily responsibilities.
