About Regina
Regina Garner is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who focuses on family and relationship concerns. She offers steady, straightforward support for parents and adults managing stress, anxiety, grief, and changes in life. She listens without judgment and helps people name what matters most to them.
Her style is calm and practical, aimed at making next steps clearer. With 25 years of experience as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor, she draws on several established methods to tailor work to each person.
Background and approach
Regina often uses client-centered work to build trust and create a space where people feel heard. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot thinking patterns that get in the way and to try new, workable behaviors. She also brings mindfulness skills and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to help with intense emotions, stress, and relationship patterns.
That mix can help people manage anger, compulsive reactions, and difficulties with intimacy. Regina pays attention to the whole family system when appropriate and to practical parenting concerns when those come up. Regina has worked with issues ranging from career and self-esteem to caregiving stress, blended-family challenges, and end-of-life concerns.
She helps people cope after loss, navigate separation, and rebuild routines after major changes. Her approach is collaborative - she partners with clients to set clear goals and focus on steps that fit their daily life. Sessions are offered in English and can include different remote formats.
Regina aims to make therapy understandable and useful, helping people move from feeling stuck to having concrete tools and clearer choices.
Approaches that translate well to online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. In an online session this means the therapist helps you speak about what matters and then guides the conversation toward practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and habits and teaches simple steps to try different behaviors. It works well for anxiety, stress, low mood, and parenting challenges because homework and short exercises can be done between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or blend methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape what happens session by session so the work stays useful and relevant to daily life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, to check in between meetings, and to continue work after moves or travel. Many people find the mix of formats helps them practice new skills in real time and keeps progress moving forward.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
