About Regina

Regina Kujawa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 30 years of experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns and on related issues like stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles. Regina keeps language plain and direct so worried parents can read quickly and understand what to expect in sessions.

She has provided psychotherapy across many settings including inpatient hospitalization, intensive in-home services, substance and alcohol treatment, and outpatient care.

Background and approach

That variety shaped how she approaches problems - practical strategies paired with attention to emotions. She helps people manage crisis moments and everyday stressors alike. Regina blends talk therapy with body-focused tools.

She is credentialed in Tension & Trauma Release Exercises, a method that uses gentle body movements to reduce muscular tension linked to stress and trauma. She also draws on approaches that teach skills for regulating emotions, improving communication, and changing unhelpful thoughts. In sessions she works through what is happening now, and how past attachments or family patterns affect current life.

Parents can expect help with communication, routines, behavior concerns, and the emotional fallout that comes with separation, loss, or illness. She explains techniques in plain terms and practices them together with the person in the room. Regina offers care in English and practices in North Carolina.

Her goal is to help families find steadier routines, clearer communication, and manageable ways to cope with difficult moments.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting support

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see how early relationships shape current patterns. It focuses on safety and connection and can be useful when family bonds feel strained or when parents want clearer ways to respond to children's needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and develop coping skills for anxiety, depression, and parenting stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. That means trying practical skills, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options let families fit sessions around schedules, continue work from home, and use short messages for check-ins or exercises between live meetings. The focus remains on clear communication, skill building, and applying tools to real family situations.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
