About Ivanna
Ivanna Troch-Candelo is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with three years of clinical experience in Texas. She works with adults facing relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, and career uncertainty. She also addresses attachment patterns, commitment and control issues, and challenges like guilt, shame, and emptiness.
Ivanna focuses on clear, practical conversations about what is happening now. She helps people notice repeating patterns, practice communication skills, and make choices that reflect their priorities. Sessions include talking through past events that still affect current relationships and experimenting with different ways of responding in day-to-day life.
Her work often involves processing loss and difficult emotions after trauma or major changes. She supports people navigating immigration-related stress and strains related to first responder or military experiences. Ivanna also helps clients consider their life purpose when career or role changes prompt questions about what comes next.
She offers therapy in English and Spanish and sees people located in Texas. Her approach attends to cultural background and identity while focusing on concrete next steps. The therapist’s role is to listen, reflect patterns back, and suggest small experiments to try between sessions.
To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payment and session details vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic methods and online sessions are used together
Ivanna describes her work as focused on approaches that have a practical emphasis: identifying repeating relationship patterns and building better communication skills. That involves looking at how attachment styles show up in day-to-day interactions and practicing new ways of relating to others in session and between meetings.She also works with processing trauma and grief through paced, gradual exploration of painful memories and strong feelings. This helps people reduce the immediate intensity of triggers and practice coping strategies that can be applied in real situations. When career or life-purpose questions come up, sessions include clarifying values and testing small steps toward change.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each client to decide which techniques make sense based on their goals, preferences, and how they respond. That evaluation can shift over time as needs change.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats offered before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals routinely adapt exercises and communication practices so they work well across formats.
