About Regina

Regina Simon is a licensed social worker in Michigan who helps people facing family and parenting challenges. She works with adults dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, and LGBT issues. Her tone is respectful and direct, and she aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is nervous about starting therapy.

Regina brings 20 years of professional experience to sessions. She listens first and adapts the conversation to each person's situation.

Background and approach

Together clients and she build a plan that fits real life, not a one-size-fits-all script. Her work covers a range of concerns that often overlap in family life. That includes attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, divorce and separation, and caregiving stress.

She also addresses issues like body image, guilt and shame, isolation, and impulse-related problems. Regina draws on several practical methods to guide change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot and shift harmful thinking.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers tools for emotion regulation. Attachment-Based approaches focus on how early relationships shape current patterns. Sessions are intended to be collaborative and solution-minded.

Regina emphasizes clear goals, honest conversation, and skills you can use between meetings. She aims to help clients make steady, realistic progress toward healthier family interactions and parenting choices.

Approaches and online care that fit family life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, so they can act on values like being a present parent or partner. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current family roles and communication, and aims to change those patterns for healthier connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce conflict and mood problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, what feels useful, and which methods fit their situation. That decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to follow up between meetings. The range of formats supports different comfort levels and helps people keep making steady progress without major travel or schedule disruptions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.

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.
