About Regina
Regina Ambs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting challenges. She also supports those dealing with trauma, relationship strain, career worries, and changes in life circumstance. Regina speaks English and draws on 16 years of practice to guide practical next steps.
Regina keeps sessions direct and person-centered. She listens first, then helps clients name what matters most. Conversations focus on real problems and doable strategies rather than jargon.
Background and approach
Her work often addresses trauma and its ripple effects. She uses trauma-focused methods alongside cognitive-behavioral tools to help people manage upsetting memories and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Regina also uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to build everyday coping skills.
Mindfulness helps with stress and sleep issues. Solution-focused work helps set short-term goals and track small wins. Parents will find a practical approach to parenting concerns and family-related stress.
Regina helps individuals sort parenting priorities, improve communication, and manage caregiver strain without assuming a one-size-fits-all plan. Her background includes a broad range of family and attachment issues such as adoption and foster care, blended family challenges, and family-of-origin patterns. Regina combines listening, clear tools, and steady guidance to help clients move forward.

Approach and online care for parenting and trauma-related concerns
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in the room. The therapist listens without judging and helps people name their priorities and strengths. This approach suits those who need a steady, supportive space to make sense of hard feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change patterns of behavior. It is useful for anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and practical parenting challenges where changing routines can make life easier.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each client about goals and try approaches that fit their situation. Together they narrow what helps most and adjust the plan as needs change.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls approximate an in-person visit and work well for conversation-based therapy. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, on-the-go reflections. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care when schedules are tight or travel is involved.
