About Regina
Regina Hughes is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with 14 years of experience. She focuses on common concerns parents raise, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflict, and parenting challenges. Regina aims to offer practical help for everyday struggles rather than abstract labels.
Her approach is conversational and straightforward. She encourages people to talk about what is happening now, how it affects daily life, and what small changes might help.
Background and approach
Sessions emphasize clear goals and simple strategies that can be tried between meetings. Regina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a method that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding.
This can make worries, low mood, or relationship tensions easier to manage. She also pays attention to family background and life transitions when they affect current problems. Topics like blended family issues, caregiver stress, fatherhood concerns, and separation or divorce are part of her work.
Regina supports people coping with grief, trauma, addiction, and career stress as well. People who reach out can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to sort through issues and set realistic steps forward. Regina talks plainly about progress and adjustments so goals stay practical and achievable.

How CBT and online work combine for practical change
Regina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people see how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT involves noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavioral experiments, and using simple tools to reduce anxiety, low mood, and relationship tension. It is often useful for stress, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before to find the best fit. Sessions can adapt CBT techniques to focus on parenting concerns, blended family issues, or coping with grief and addiction as needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people maintain face-to-face contact when discussing emotions and family dynamics. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief updates, homework check-ins, or when scheduling makes real-time sessions difficult. These options help people fit counseling into busy lives and keep continuity between appointments.
