Regina Ambs, LPC

Regina Ambs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who helps people facing relationship strain, family concerns, trauma and grief. She supports those coping with life changes, anxiety, stress, sleep problems, parenting strain, low self-esteem, career questions, and compassion fatigue. Regina also works with people navigating identity and LGBT concerns and with issues like anger and communication problems.

She takes a collaborative, down-to-earth approach in sessions. Regina listens first to understand what matters most to each person. She then helps clients set small goals and practice new skills between meetings so progress feels practical and usable in daily life.

Regina uses a mix of methods tailored to the person in front of her. That can include client-centered conversations, cognitive behavioral techniques to address thinking and behavior patterns, mindfulness skills to manage stress, solution-focused strategies to tackle immediate problems, and trauma-focused work when past events shape current reactions.

With 16 years of experience, she draws on a wide range of family and life-stage concerns, such as adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and aging-related topics. Regina also supports people dealing with cancer, attachment wounds, abandonment, divorce, and other major life disruptions.

Sessions aim to strengthen self-understanding, improve communication, and build resilience. To begin, visitors complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability using the Start Therapy button.

How Regina’s approaches translate to online therapy

Regina blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and trauma-focused methods. Client-centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a therapeutic relationship so people feel heard and understood; it helps when someone needs a safe space to sort feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors with specific exercises and homework to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and change unhelpful patterns. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses how past events affect current life and uses structured ways to process those experiences and build coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs to decide which methods to try first. Treatment can shift over time as goals change and new challenges appear, and the client’s input helps shape each step.

If you prefer online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity of care during life changes. Ask about the available formats when you complete the matching questionnaire so arrangements match your routine and needs.
