About Regina

She offers straightforward support for parents and individuals coping with life changes, sleep problems, anger, career doubts, and issues around identity and self-esteem. She keeps sessions practical and focused.
Conversations identify immediate problems and build small steps forward. Regina draws on methods that help people learn new habits, manage strong emotions, and improve communication skills.
Background and approach
Regina has 16 years of experience as an LPC in Michigan. That time has included work with people facing loss, abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and caregiver stress. She also supports those dealing with attachment struggles, blended family dynamics, and family of origin problems.
Her style is collaborative and calm. Regina listens first, then helps set clear goals. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to test what works and adjust plans when needed.
Sessions may mix short-term problem solving with deeper trauma work when necessary. She can help people build resilience after difficult events, manage compassion fatigue, and find practical ways to sleep better and reduce daily stress. To begin, Regina asks questions about the current challenge and what a better week would look like.
From there she and the person map out small, achievable steps toward improved coping and clearer communication.
How Regina’s Methods Translate to Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person’s experience and building a trusting working relationship. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to clarify what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; this approach suits anxiety, sleep trouble, and stress management. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on safely processing difficult memories and learning coping tools to reduce their daily impact, which can help people dealing with past abuse or major losses.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Then she will suggest methods and adjust them as progress is made, so the plan matches the person's needs rather than a fixed formula.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and reading visual cues. Phone sessions demand less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing helps people organize thoughts. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical, measurable steps.
