Background and approach
She helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, try small experiments, and build routines that reduce worry and improve sleep. Regina also brings focused support for trauma and grief. She uses trauma-informed methods and solution-focused techniques to help people manage difficult memories and take gradual steps forward.
Sessions often include grounding practices and short, doable action plans between meetings. She works with concerns like parenting strain, compassion fatigue, career stress, body image, attachment struggles, and family-of-origin issues. Regina supports people coping with adoption and foster care questions, aging and caregiving pressures, and major life transitions such as separation or loss.
Conversations are collaborative and goal-oriented. Expected outcomes include clearer priorities, better communication skills, and more effective coping strategies. Regina encourages clients to try approaches that match their daily life and to adjust the plan as needed.
Online approaches that fit your daily life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. Conversations are led by what matters to the client and the therapist reflects and clarifies to deepen self-understanding. This approach helps people who need a supportive space to talk through relationships, identity, or life transitions.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions and how they influence each other. It uses short experiments and practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and change patterns that fuel worry. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower stress and to notice difficult feelings without getting overwhelmed.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods based on goals, needs, and what feels comfortable. Plans are adjusted over time so techniques match real-life routines and progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Regina uses video calls for deeper conversations, phone sessions when bandwidth or hands-free time is needed, live chat for quick check-ins, and text-based messaging for brief support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or busy days while keeping sessions practical and goal-directed.
