About Regina
Regina Kilberg is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people understand their feelings and relationships from the inside out. Regina aims to build a calm, open space where clients can speak without fear of judgment.
She commonly helps people manage stress, anxiety, and depression. She also supports those dealing with attachment trauma, complex PTSD, and other relationship challenges.
Background and approach
Regina adapts her work to meet each person where they are in life. Her approach draws from attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas, with elements of emotionally-focused and mindfulness work. Sessions emphasize noticing patterns in relationships and emotions, then testing new ways of relating and coping.
She uses a client-centered stance to follow what matters most to each person. Regina works with a wide range of concerns including parenting strain, intimacy issues, grief, eating and sleep problems, and challenges linked to ADHD or bipolar disorder. She also supports people navigating adoption and foster care, abandonment, blended family dynamics, and caregiver stress.
Clients can expect practical skills alongside deeper exploration of early relational patterns. Regina describes therapy as collaborative - the therapist and client plan goals together and adjust as needed. The aim is clearer self-understanding and better ways to handle life’s difficult moments.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions use conversation and reflective questions to identify attachment patterns and practice safer ways of connecting. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and shift hard emotions within relationships. In virtual sessions this often means tracking moments of distress and rehearsing new responses together in real time.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together the client and therapist decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process with regular check-ins to see what helps and what to change.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial expressions and work interactively. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when an on-camera conversation is not needed. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, written reflection, or ongoing coaching-style contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work even when in-person visits are not possible.
