01About Regina
Regina Ambs is a licensed professional counselor working in Michigan who helps people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma, stress, anxiety, and the everyday pressures of parenting and career changes. She draws on 16 years of experience to offer steady, practical support for people trying to make sense of hard emotions and life changes. Regina focuses on listening first.
She helps people name what feels overwhelming and then chooses simple steps that fit each person's life.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be conversational and goal-oriented, with space for reflection and gentle challenge when needed. Her work often addresses attachment and family of origin issues, abandonment and blended family concerns, and the emotional impact of adoption or caregiver stress. Regina also supports people coping with illness, body image worries, sleeping problems, and the burnout that comes with caregiving or demanding jobs.
She uses approaches such as client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, solution-focused planning, and trauma-informed methods. Those tools help people change unhelpful thoughts, build new behaviors, and develop calmer responses to strong feelings. Regina aims to help clients improve communication, rebuild self-esteem, and find clearer direction after loss or big transitions.
Her style is warm, practical, and collaborative, helping people take manageable steps toward better day-to-day functioning.

04Online support
Approaches for online healing and growth
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It means sessions are built around what the client wants to work on, with the therapist offering empathy and reflection to help people understand themselves better. This approach is helpful for improving self-esteem and sorting through identity and relationship questions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses short exercises and practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits, which can help with anxiety, stress, sleeping problems, and anger. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process difficult memories in small, paced steps and develop safer ways of responding to triggers and reminders of past harm.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals, and preferences and then collaborate with you to try methods that fit your needs. Plans can change as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets you see facial cues and build rapport, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging can be used for quick check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping momentum on the issues you want to address.
