About Regina
Regina Phelps is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in California with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people who face stress from relationships, parenting, addiction, grief, life transitions, and anger. Regina uses straightforward, practical conversations to help clients understand what they are feeling and why those feelings come up.
Her background includes individual, group, and couples work in residential and outpatient settings. She began as a social services professional and later completed a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from California State University, Fresno. Her clinical practice draws on many years of hands-on experience supporting people through change.
Regina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on how thoughts influence behavior, and Solution-Focused Therapy, which centers on realistic next steps and strengths. She also integrates elements from narrative, strategic, and family systems work when those approaches match a client's needs.
Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Regina pays attention to the immediate problems people bring, like anger at work or resentment at home, and helps identify small, practical changes to try between sessions. She also supports people experiencing caregiver stress, codependency, and veteran-related concerns.
Her practice notes that session arrangements use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should follow the site's intake steps to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Regina offers appointments in English and does not accept international clients.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Regina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice patterns of thought that feed anger and then try small behavioral changes to reduce reactivity. CBT is useful for issues like workplace frustration, rumination, and negative self-talk.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy, which concentrates on practical next steps and on what already works. This approach is brief and action-oriented, and can help people build quick routines to interrupt cycles of resentment or outbursts.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Regina will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, and then recommend techniques to try. She checks in as those techniques are used and adjusts the plan together based on what helps.

Others prefer a full-length appointment for deeper work. Discuss scheduling and format preferences during the intake questionnaire so sessions can fit into everyday life.
