About Regina
Regina Simon is a Michigan-licensed social worker with 20 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people navigate parenting challenges, intimacy concerns, anger, LGBT issues, and family conflict. Regina aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where parents and individuals can talk through practical problems and find clearer next steps.
Her approach is flexible and personal. She adapts conversations and plans to fit each person’s situation rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to focus on skills you can use between meetings, clearer communication, and reducing emotional reactivity. Regina draws on methods from cognitive behavioral work and acceptance-based strategies to help people notice patterns and make small, doable changes. She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how relationships shape behavior and feelings.
These tools are aimed at everyday problems like worry, anger, difficult conversations, and feeling stuck. Over two decades she has worked with people facing midlife transitions, mood challenges, grief and separation, issues around control and impulsivity, and struggles with guilt or shame. She also addresses concerns about body image, isolation, caregiving stress, and finding purpose.
Conversations with her are meant to be straightforward. Expect a mix of practical suggestions, gentle reflection, and goal-focused planning. Regina encourages parents and individuals who are ready to take a next step to try a short matching process and schedule a session that fits their needs.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based action. It is useful for parenting stress, mood struggles, and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in how people connect and respond in relationships, which can be helpful for intimacy issues and family conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing concrete changes to shift mood and reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so the care fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging offer quick check-ins or a shorter way to track progress between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and to keep momentum between meetings.
