About Regina
Regina Phelps is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with nine years as a licensed clinician. She brings many years of social services experience to therapy and meets people where they are. Regina aims to create a calm, direct space for practical progress.
Regina generally focuses on issues like parenting, relationships, addiction, grief, trauma, anger, and life changes. She also helps with career concerns, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, codependency, and veteran and armed forces issues.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around each person’s immediate needs and goals. Her work leans on clear, problem-solving strategies. Regina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior.
She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term, achievable goals and track progress. Regina combines those approaches with client-centered listening. She asks questions, reflects back what she hears, and helps people try small, practical experiments between sessions.
That makes therapy feel actionable instead of abstract. People who choose Regina can expect a collaborative relationship. She will work with each person to tailor sessions to their circumstances and priorities.
The focus is on steady steps forward and building skills that fit everyday life.

Using CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Regina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, manage anger, and support recovery from addiction. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on specific goals and small, practical steps to reach them, which can help with parenting challenges and life transitions.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Regina will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try techniques that match those needs. She checks progress regularly and adjusts methods if something isnt working, so clients have an active role in choosing what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can be helpful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick updates, brief coaching between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy parenting schedule and keep momentum between sessions.
