About Regina
Regina Simon is a Michigan-based therapist with twenty years of experience who focuses on helping people facing relationship and identity challenges. She works with clients concerned about LGBT issues, intimacy difficulties, parenting strain, anger, and related life transitions.
Background and approach
Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth, aimed at making the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure. Regina combines several practical methods to match each person's needs.
She uses the Gottman Method ideas to clarify interaction patterns and improve communication. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Sessions are collaborative and tailored.
Regina listens first, then helps set small goals and clear steps. She emphasizes basic skills like better communication, setting boundaries, and managing strong emotions.
Over two decades of practice have given her experience across many concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, body image, caregiver stress, control problems, guilt and shame, and midlife transitions. She also supports people dealing with grief, separation, impulsivity, and mood concerns.
Regina offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. She aims to make therapy straightforward, practical, and oriented toward real-life changes that fit each person’s situation.
Practical approaches for online relationship and life work
Regina uses approaches that focus on everyday interaction and personal values. The Gottman Method helps identify recurring patterns in how people argue and connect, and offers concrete communication strategies to reduce conflict and increase understanding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches noticing painful thoughts and choosing actions that reflect what matters most, which is useful for anxiety, shame, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they show up now, helping people understand why they feel distant, fearful, or overly dependent.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Regina will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit those needs. She adapts techniques over time, checking in about what works and adjusting steps so progress feels achievable and relevant.
Online therapy offers practical advantages for that collaborative work. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for practicing communication skills. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients share updates between sessions or check in without scheduling a full appointment. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue momentum between meetings.
