About Regina

Regina Ambs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and relationship problems. She offers practical support for those facing big life changes and for people coping with natural or human-caused disaster. Her approach is straightforward and aimed at helping clients build day-to-day coping skills.

Regina keeps sessions collaborative and focused on each person's goals. She uses client-centered techniques to listen closely and reflect what matters to the individual. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods to identify unhelpful thinking and build more effective habits.

Mindfulness practices are offered to help with anxiety, sleeping problems, and emotion regulation. Trauma-focused work is available for people processing past harms or abuse. Solution-focused strategies are used to set clear, short-term steps when clients want change quickly.

Regina has 16 years of experience as an LPC in Michigan. That experience includes supporting people through grief, parenting strain, caregiver stress, career transitions, body image concerns, and issues tied to adoption or abandonment.

Her style is calm, direct, and practical. Sessions aim to teach skills you can use between meetings. The emphasis is on small, steady steps toward feeling more stable and connected.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The therapist reflects what matters to the client and helps them name priorities, which can be helpful when sorting feelings after a disaster or big life change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thinking patterns, behaviors, and feelings. It teaches simple exercises to test thoughts and change routines, which can reduce anxiety and improve sleep.

Mindfulness Therapy uses brief attention and breathing practices to calm the body and notice thoughts without getting swept away. This can be useful for stress, anger, and sleep troubles following traumatic events.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then try approaches that fit. Plans can shift as progress is made or new issues appear.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can guide how to use sessions to practice skills between meetings and bring strategies into everyday routines.
