About Regina

Regina Hughes is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, and relationship difficulties. She offers steady support for depression, grief, addiction challenges, and coping with big life changes. Regina creates a calm space where parents and adults can say what they need to say without judgment.

She uses straightforward talk and practical steps. Conversations move from naming the problem to trying small changes that can improve daily routines and communication.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, shapes how she helps people notice thoughts and try different responses. Regina draws on 14 years of professional experience. That background includes helping people with intimacy-related struggles, anger, ADHD, and career questions.

She also addresses blended family issues, caregiver stress, and problems that grow from family of origin patterns. Clients may explore boundaries, communication patterns, and parenting strategies in sessions. She also supports work on body image, codependency, forgiveness, and recovery from drug and alcohol problems.

Regina respects each person’s pace while guiding practical steps forward. Her practice is based in North Carolina and conversations are held in English. She welcomes people who want to build clearer routines, better family conversations, and healthier ways to cope with stress and loss.

How CBT and online sessions support family and parenting needs

Regina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems that get in the way of daily routines or parenting tasks.

In sessions she focuses on simple, practical changes. That may include experimenting with new communication habits, testing coping strategies for stress, or breaking problems into small steps. The therapist works with each person to find approaches that match their goals and comfort level. Figuring out the right method is a team effort between the client and the therapist.

Online sessions make it easier to fit counseling into busy family schedules. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, while phone sessions offer a simpler option when screens are not convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These formats provide flexibility for parents and adults who need help managing stress, relationships, or parenting challenges while keeping therapy accessible.

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.
