About Regina

Regina Ambs is a licensed professional counselor in Michigan who helps people navigate relationship challenges, family strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and the stress of life transitions.

Background and approach

With 16 years of clinical experience, she draws on practical strategies to support clients coping with anxiety, sleep difficulties, parenting pressures, anger, self-esteem concerns, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Her work combines evidence-informed techniques and a person-centered stance to meet each person where they are.

Regina emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and communication skills while addressing attachment, abandonment, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care issues, and family of origin patterns. She also supports those dealing with aging and caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, body image, and recovery from separation or divorce.

Regina uses a blend of approaches tailored to individual needs, including cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness practices, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused interventions. As a licensed counselor (LPC) she helps clients cultivate resilience, clarify values, and build practical coping skills to move toward greater well-being.

Online approaches that combine practical skills and personal understanding

Regina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood, and stress. CBT is often useful for addressing sleep problems, workplace stress, relationship worries, and emotion regulation.

She also brings Client-Centered Therapy into her online work, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients’ own goals and perspectives guide the process. This approach supports self-exploration, clarity about values, and gradual change driven by the client’s priorities.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic work; Regina collaborates with each person to determine which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what’s helping, adjust techniques when necessary, and set achievable steps toward improvement.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions and to access regular support without rearranging daily obligations.
