About Regina
Regina Phelps is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with nine years of licensed clinical experience. She brings a long history in social services and has worked across residential and outpatient settings, offering individual, couples, and group therapy.
Background and approach
Her training includes an MA in Counseling Psychology from California State University, Fresno and licensure with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences, CA LMFT 51988. Regina frames her work around a person-centered stance, beginning by meeting each client where they are and collaborating on goals that fit their life and values.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy alongside narrative, strategic, and family systems ideas when those perspectives suit a client's needs. Typical concerns she addresses include relationship and parenting struggles, anxiety and stress, addiction and codependency, grief and life transitions, and compassion fatigue.
Clients can expect practical, goal-oriented work balanced with empathic support and a focus on personal growth. Regina emphasizes creating a cooperative space for difficult conversations and tailored treatment plans, and she welcomes motivated individuals ready to engage in the therapeutic process.
Online Approaches That Focus on Practical Change
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress and to replace them with more helpful responses; it is often applied to anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life changes. Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes setting concrete goals and identifying strengths and past successes to build actionable steps forward, which can be useful for career, relationship, and transition-related challenges.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to match methods to their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to address, adjusting techniques as progress and feedback emerge. This collaborative stance helps shape a tailored plan that balances short-term gains and longer-term growth.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from different locations within California. These formats support continuity of care and allow clients and licensed professionals to work together in the ways that feel most manageable and effective for each person.
