Regina Simon

Regina Simon is a licensed social worker in Michigan with 20 years of experience. She helps people address anger and related concerns like intimacy problems, parenting strain, and LGBT issues. Her style is respectful and practical, and she aims to make the first steps feel doable for someone who is nervous about starting therapy.

Regina uses a mix of approaches to match a person's needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and commit to meaningful action. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are available for changing unhelpful patterns and learning emotion regulation skills.

Sessions focus on clear, concrete goals. Regina works with each person to create a plan that fits their life and values. That can mean practicing new ways to respond to anger, improving communication, or reducing impulsive behaviors.

Her background includes two decades of work supporting people through mood challenges, grief, caregiver stress, and relationship ruptures. Regina emphasizes empathy and direct feedback so people leave with practical skills they can use right away.

If someone wants to explore therapy, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session. The process is framed as a collaboration where the person’s goals guide the work together.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Regina uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. ACT is useful for anger that comes with shame or avoidance, because it focuses on what matters instead of getting stuck in thoughts.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns influence present reactions. This approach helps people understand why certain situations trigger strong emotions and how to change relational responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Regina will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort. That may mean combining skills training with deeper relational exploration over time.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also let someone choose sessions that match their day - for example a quicker call during a lunch break or a longer evening meeting - depending on the formats the therapist provides.
