Grief counselors and therapists in San Angelo, TX

Something that stands out in regard to me is that I have gathered some valuable wisdom over the years from many excellent mentors and life experience as an educator, vocational ministry, raising my own family, and having worked with many gifted and compassionate people.

My clients describe me as understanding ("getting them as individuals"), caring and collaborative , and a safe place to share what they need to share.

Hi, I’m Kerrigan Spangler, a therapist who works with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, and sexual concerns. I’m passionate about helping people feel more confident in themselves and more connected in their relationships. I value honesty, curiosity, and creating a space where you don’t feel judged or rushed. Therapy with me is a place where you can show up as you are and start making sense of what you’re going through.

My focus

I specialize in working with adults facing depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, occupational stress, relationship conflicts, cultural and identity issues, and survivors of abuse. I help clients build understanding and chart a path forward using evidence-based approaches.

My communication style

My style is nurturing, accepting, empathic, and personable. I use unconditional positive regard to help you feel safe without judgment. I validate how you feel and normalize your situation so you can feel comfortable and at ease in our work together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I have always accepted others, regardless of their background or circumstances. I believe in advocating for those who may not otherwise have a voice.

I received my Ph.D. from UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, a clinically focused school with significant access to psychological and medical training. I transitioned to private practice in 2018 in order to allow for deeper work with clients. I enjoy working with clients on a variety of issues, but identity, meaning-making, and life transitions are of particular interest.

¡Hola! I’m Daniel, a bilingual, English-Spanish clinical social worker. I provide deep compassion and empathy that derive from my professional and lived experience helping people who are incarcerated and facing uncertain, stressful futures. When you work with me, you’ll understand that you’re not alone in your struggles, you can grow and get through anything, and you are inherently necessary in this world.

I specialize in helping adults navigate challenges related to depression, anxiety, and life transitions. My therapeutic approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness techniques to support clients in building coping skills, emotional balance, and self-awareness. I am known for my empathetic nature, active listening skills, and patient approach, creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can feel heard and understood. I believe in meeting clients where they are and working collaboratively toward meaningful and lasting change. To accommodate busy schedules, I offer flexible appointment times, including evenings and weekends.

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”

― Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

I am a firm believer that life–even the best of lives– has moments of pain and suffering; however great or small. Some come to pass quickly and float away from our consciousness, while others stay with us, shape us, change our relationships and the way we see the world. The rest of our life is filled with moments dependent on how we cope with, process and accept those moments of pain or suffering.

I believe healing and growth happen best when people feel safe, accepted, and genuinely cared for. I love working with children, teens, and families, and I strive to create a warm, supportive space where clients can feel comfortable being themselves.

For children, I have advanced training in Child-Centered Play Therapy, which allows them to express feelings, work through challenges, and build confidence through the natural language of play. Often, children communicate much more through play than they can with words, and I enjoy helping them feel understood and supported in ways that fit their developmental needs.

I help Preteens, teens, and adults heal from trauma and work through challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties, emotional dysregulation, and negative self-beliefs. Many clients come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, often carrying the weight of painful past experiences. I provide a safe, supportive space where you feel understood and not alone. Care is tailored to your needs, helping you process experiences, reduce distress, and build healthier coping skills. My goal is to support healing, resilience, and emotional balance so you can move toward a more connected and fulfilling life.

I am a mom of 3 little ones and I've been a professional counselor for over 15 years. I love working with clients of all ages and stages of life. I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology (with focus on Experimental Psychology) from UT-RGV. I am a somatic experiencing (SE) practitioner.
