About Regina
Her style is collaborative and down to earth. Sessions focus on clear goals, usable strategies, and steady emotional support. Regina blends client-centered listening with tools drawn from cognitive behavioral and mindfulness approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping.
She offers trauma-focused work when past harm continues to affect daily life. That work moves at a careful pace and includes attention to safety, pacing, and developing skills to manage strong feelings. Solution-focused methods are used to pick small, achievable steps when immediate problems need relief.
Regina often helps people improve communication, set boundaries, and manage caregiver stress or issues that come with aging and geriatric concerns. She also works with adoption and foster care questions, abandonment wounds, blended family dynamics, and family-of-origin patterns.
Her background includes 16 years practicing in Michigan as an LPC, combining structured therapeutic tools with warm, person-centered attention. To begin, the Start Therapy button is used to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding each person's perspective. It focuses on building a trusting relationship and helping people find their own solutions to relationship, identity, and caregiving stressors.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. It uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change habits that cause conflict or low mood.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to ease reactivity and handle strong emotions. These skills can help when grief, trauma reminders, or caregiver burnout feel overwhelming.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try methods together to see what helps most. Adjustments are made along the way so work matches the person's needs and preferences.
Confirm current session formats before booking since options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist about logistics and which methods will work best given daily routines and goals.
