About Ivanna
Ivanna Troch-Candelo is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas who helps people facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, and career transitions. She works with clients on attachment struggles, communication problems, and issues around control or avoidance. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Ivanna uses a culturally responsive, compassionate style. She focuses on building an authentic connection and on practical communication skills. Work in sessions often includes talking through patterns such as avoidance or impulsivity and learning ways to respond differently in relationships.
Background and approach
Her practice pays attention to how identity, immigration history, and first responder or military experience shape daily life. She helps people process guilt, shame, and forgiveness so they can move forward. Career changes and life transitions are addressed with clear steps and emotional support.
Ivanna aims to create a respectful, warm atmosphere where clients feel seen. She supports exploration of purpose and values, and guides people through big life moments like pregnancy or midlife shifts. The tone in sessions is collaborative and down-to-earth.
With three years of experience as an LPC, Ivanna blends practical talk with emotional reflection. She encourages small experiments between sessions to build new habits. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling details.
Approaches that guide online work and progress
Ivanna draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationship patterns and emotional processing. One approach centers on attachment-related work, helping people notice how early bonds influence current relationships and teaching practical skills to build safer connections. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed strategies for processing painful experiences and reducing their impact on daily life. Finding the right method is a collaborative process. Ivanna will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and preferences, and together they will try approaches that fit those needs. This helps tailor sessions so they feel useful and relevant rather than one-size-fits-all. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity through life changes. It can reduce commute time, allow for quicker check-ins, and make scheduling around work or family obligations simpler. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm the exact online options available before booking to match your needs and daily routine.Questions people ask
