About Regina

Regina Simon is a Michigan-licensed LMSW with two decades of hands-on experience supporting people facing relationship and personal challenges.

Background and approach

She works with clients on LGBT concerns, family and intimacy issues, parenting struggles, and anger management, alongside a wider set of focuses such as attachment wounds, communication problems, body image, and mood-related concerns. Regina emphasizes sensitivity and respect while shaping a plan that reflects each person’s needs and circumstances.

Her style blends evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based approaches, client-centered listening, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Regina adapts conversations and therapeutic strategies to the individual, aiming to build practical skills as well as deeper emotional insight.

She recognizes that beginning therapy often requires courage and frames the first steps as part of a collaborative process toward more manageable patterns and clearer goals.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care



Regina frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete strategies for changing behaviors and managing mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is also part of her toolkit, encouraging people to clarify values, accept difficult feelings, and take committed actions that align with what matters most. Each approach is explained in straightforward terms so clients understand how interventions address issues like relationship stress, anxiety, or persistent mood challenges.

Choosing the best method is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to evaluate what feels useful, adapt techniques over time, and combine elements from different models when that better fits goals and preferences. This collaborative stance helps tailor pacing, homework, and conversational focus to individual needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for scheduling and allow work to continue between appointments. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care while balancing life demands, and they enable clients and licensed professionals to focus on practical skill-building and emotional processing in ways that fit daily routines.
