Regina Hughes

Regina Hughes is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 23 years of experience. She works with adults and teens who are dealing with stress, anxiety, mood challenges, addiction, trauma, and anger. Regina aims to provide a calm, respectful space where people can talk through hard things and begin to make practical changes.

She has worked in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings and has supported people with a wide mix of concerns. Those include depression, bipolar issues, PTSD, substance use, obsessive-compulsive concerns, and the effects of physical or emotional abuse. She has also helped people navigating parenting struggles, relationship strain, grief, and career or school-related stress.

Regina uses a client-centered stance that emphasizes warmth and nonjudgmental listening. She blends approaches to match each person’s needs rather than following one strict method. That means sessions can include skills work, focused conversations about beliefs and behavior, and attention to emotions and relationships.

She has experience supporting people who have neurodevelopmental needs such as autism and ADHD, and those needing help with attachment, caregiving strain, chronic illness, or separation and loss. Her background also includes work with special education populations and academic or behavioral concerns.

Regina describes therapy as collaborative and practical. She helps people set clear goals and tries to build useful tools for everyday life. If someone is ready to make a change, she offers steady guidance and support through the process.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Regina regularly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is useful for anxiety, mood, and many day-to-day challenges.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and empathy so people feel understood. That approach supports emotional processing and helps build trust before moving into specific skills or behavior change. Together these approaches let her combine practical tools with a supportive listening stance in therapy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Regina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as needed so sessions stay relevant and useful.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping continuity of care and practicing skills between meetings.
