About Regina
Regina Ambs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 16 years of experience. She helps people dealing with relationship strain, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, stress, and the upheaval that comes with life changes.
She focuses on practical ways to manage difficult feelings and improve everyday functioning. Sessions look at communication skills, coping tools for stress and sleep problems, and strategies for rebuilding after loss or trauma. Regina also supports people working through identity and LGBT-related concerns, career stress, parenting strain, and compassion fatigue.
Her work draws on client-centered ideas to make space for each person's perspective. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, and Mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity. Trauma-focused methods are used when past events are part of current difficulties.
Regina favors clear goals and step-by-step plans when that fits a person's needs. She also uses solution-focused techniques to highlight small changes that lead to relief. Conversations are practical and grounded in day-to-day life rather than abstract theory.
People often begin with a short assessment of current struggles and goals. From there she helps set manageable steps and tracks progress. Regina works in Michigan and conducts sessions in English.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood. It helps clarify what matters most to someone and supports them in making their own decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, improving sleep, and changing unhelpful habits. Mindfulness Therapy offers practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, which can help with stress, anger, and rumination.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Regina will discuss goals and preferences early on and will help decide which methods to try. That choice is revisited as therapy progresses and adjusted based on what helps most.
