Regina Ambs, LPC - Therapist in Michigan

About Regina

Regina Ambs is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan who helps people facing relationship stress, grief, trauma, parenting concerns, and life changes. She offers straightforward support for anxiety, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem struggles, and career or caregiving stress. Her style is warm and practical, aimed at making small, usable changes rather than overwhelming theory.

Regina focuses on understanding what each person is living through now. Sessions include listening, clear reflection, and steps clients can try between meetings.

Background and approach

She often uses exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and to build new routines that reduce worry and improve sleep. Her work draws on trauma-focused methods to help people process painful events and on client-centered strategies that emphasize the person’s own goals. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify thought patterns and replace them with more helpful ones.

Mindfulness practices are introduced when they fit a client’s needs. Regina brings 16 years of experience to her practice. She helps people develop better communication and cope with family-related stress and transitions.

Her background includes addressing adoption and foster care issues, blended family challenges, attachment concerns, and family-of-origin dynamics. Sessions may also address issues like body image, cancer-related stress, aging concerns, and compassion fatigue. Regina works with people exploring LGBT matters, commitment and divorce issues, and those recovering from natural or human-caused disasters.

She aims to help clients find steady ground and clearer next steps.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s goals. In online sessions this means the therapist reflects what matters most to the person and helps shape goals that feel doable for daily life. Cognitive behavioral therapy targets thoughts and behaviors with clear exercises and homework. It is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and stress by teaching practical tools to test and change unhelpful thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Regina will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that match those needs. That decision is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules or to check in between meetings. The variety of formats helps people practice new skills in real life while keeping access convenient and consistent.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
