About Regina
Regina Simon is a Michigan licensed social worker with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing relationship strains, parenting stress, anger, and issues related to sexual orientation. She aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can begin to talk through what feels hard right now.
Regina uses a client-centered approach that keeps the person's goals and pace at the center of sessions. She also draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to notice and change unhelpful thinking, and on acceptance and commitment ideas to build values-based action. Attachment perspectives guide work on closeness, boundaries, and trust in relationships.
In a typical session she listens first, then helps people name patterns and pick small steps to try between meetings. She works with practical concerns like communication, caregiving stress, and rebuilding trust after separation. Sessions may include skills practice, problem-solving, and planning for real-life changes.
Regina describes her style as compassionate and tailored to each person's needs. She will collaborate with clients to create a plan that fits their situation and goals. People who want straightforward, empathetic support around relationships, identity, mood, or life transitions often find this approach useful.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on following the person's lead, offering empathy, and shaping sessions around what matters most to them. Online sessions using this approach aim to let people set the agenda and pace while the therapist listens and reflects back what seems most important.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. In online sessions ACT techniques can support people working through anxiety, low mood, or uncertainty by using short exercises and goal-focused planning between meetings.
Attachment-based ideas look at how past patterns affect current relationships. Online conversations can explore closeness, boundaries, and trust, and help people try new ways of relating in daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than applying a single method by default.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed. Many people find that remote sessions help them practice communication and coping skills in their everyday routines.
