About Regina
Regina Ambs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 16 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing relationship strain, grief, trauma, anxiety, parenting pressures, and the persistent weight of guilt and shame. Regina focuses on helping people who feel stuck by unwanted emotions or difficult life changes.
She uses clear, practical conversation rather than jargon. Sessions often include looking at how thoughts, behaviors, and relationships keep a problem going. Regina draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and on solution-focused steps to try small changes between sessions.
Regina also brings trauma-informed methods into work with people who carry painful past events. That can mean pacing the work to match how much someone can handle at once and using grounding skills to manage strong feelings. Mindfulness practices are offered as simple ways to notice difficult sensations and reduce reactivity.
People meet with her to sort relationship patterns, process loss, cope with stress, and address family-of-origin issues such as abandonment or attachment concerns. She also supports people managing caregiver strain, cancer-related distress, and career transitions.
Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Regina helps people clarify goals, try practical coping tools, and strengthen communication skills. To begin, prospective clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How Regina’s approaches translate to online work
Regina uses Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening carefully and helping people set their own goals; online sessions can preserve that conversational focus and pacing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes; it translates well to short practice tasks or worksheets between sessions.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity. These exercises are easy to learn during a session and to repeat afterward as part of everyday routines. Together, these approaches aim to clarify goals and give small, practical tools a person can try between meetings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Regina will collaborate with each person to choose what matches their needs, goals, and comfort level, and to adjust methods over time. That collaborative process helps decide what to focus on and how quickly to move.
