About Regina

Regina Ambs is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who helps people manage anger and related concerns. She supports those dealing with relationship strain, trauma, grief, stress, anxiety, sleep problems, parenting pressures, career worries, and identity questions. Regina focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Regina uses a collaborative, down-to-earth style in sessions. She listens first, then helps clients identify patterns that keep them stuck. Together they try small changes and skills that add up over time. Her style is warm and straightforward rather than textbook-driven. Her work includes attention to trauma, grief, family-of-origin issues, attachment concerns, abandonment, and challenges that come with adoption and foster care. She also helps with caregiver stress, cancer-related adjustment, body image, and coping after divorce or separation. Regina pays attention to the life details that affect emotional health. Regina draws on approaches such as Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. These methods guide how she structures sessions and sets goals with each person. She aims for clear, doable strategies rather than vague advice. With 16 years of experience, Regina brings steady experience to hard moments. She helps people strengthen communication, rebuild trust in themselves, and manage intense feelings like anger. If someone wants practical tools and calm support, she can help them plan next steps.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are. Online sessions let the therapist follow the client's lead and build trust through regular conversations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches skills to shift them; this is easy to practice between online sessions with homework and short skill drills. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on helping people process and reduce the impact of traumatic memories in a paced way, using grounding and coping strategies that can be reviewed and practiced remotely.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Regina will work with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques to prioritize as progress unfolds.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she is offering care. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into busy schedules, reduce commuting time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Some formats may also make short check-ins simpler or let a client use audio-only when bandwidth is limited. Discuss practical preferences when scheduling to match sessions with everyday life.
