About Regina
Regina Ambs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with relationship strain, family stress, trauma and abuse, grief, life changes, anxiety, sleep problems, parenting challenges, anger, and self-esteem concerns.
Regina uses straightforward talk and practical tools in sessions. She focuses on understanding what triggers strong feelings and on building clearer communication. Sessions often involve mapping patterns, learning coping skills, and rehearsing new ways to respond when emotions run high.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation grounded in each person’s concerns. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and Mindfulness techniques to notice reactions without escalation. For people with traumatic histories, she integrates Trauma-Focused work to address painful events at a manageable pace.
Regina helps people sort through relationship and family issues without labels. She supports those facing career stress, caregiver fatigue, body image struggles, adoption and foster care questions, and challenges tied to aging or medical issues. She also addresses commitment worries, communication breakdowns, and feelings of emptiness related to family of origin problems.
Practical steps are a regular part of her work: short exercises to reduce tension, rehearsal of clearer requests, and strategies to improve sleep and daily routines. Regina guides clients toward clearer thinking and steadier emotional responses so they can handle conflict and frustration more effectively.
Approaches used in online sessions and what they do
Regina uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person’s concerns. That approach emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients can notice their own priorities and feelings more clearly. It helps when someone wants to talk through relationship hurt or family strain.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT provides concrete steps to test unhelpful thoughts and try different responses when anger or anxiety flares. Mindfulness techniques are used alongside these methods to help people recognize early signs of escalation and practice calmer responses.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Regina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying short skills-focused work, or spending more time on trauma-focused processing when appropriate.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a workday, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Others prefer longer sessions for deeper processing; the therapist will discuss what timing and structure match daily life and therapeutic aims.
