About Regina
Regina keeps the first meetings simple and down to earth. She starts by learning where a person is right now and what they most want to change. Conversations are collaborative and paced to the client, with plain language and step-by-step ideas for coping and change.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, concrete goals and build on what already works. Other methods may be introduced as helpful for a person’s situation.
People often come for help with relationships, parenting strain, grief, addiction, trauma, career challenges, or stress related to caregiving and codependency. Regina also lists experience with veteran and armed forces issues and with LGBT concerns.
Sessions aim to combine practical tools with a supportive listening style. Regina encourages clients to try manageable steps between meetings and to track what helps. The focus is on steady progress and skills that fit everyday life.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that get in the way and then practice small changes. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, anger, and patterns that feed stress. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for strengths and past successes and builds simple, measurable goals that move people forward quickly.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about what feels most useful and try methods that match their goals and preferences. Sessions often include practice tasks, short-term goals, and regular check-ins to see what is helping.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, shorten travel and transition time, and allow for quicker check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also make it simpler to combine practical skill practice with day-to-day routines so new habits stick.
