About Regina
Regina Ambs is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Michigan with 16 years of experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, anxiety, stress, parenting, career issues, and related areas such as attachment and communication problems.
Regina uses straightforward talking and practical techniques to help people manage strong feelings and difficult situations. She works with people facing life changes, coping with loss, and trying to improve how they relate to others. Sessions often involve learning skills for stress and sleep, and practicing new ways to respond in tense moments.
Her approach draws on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Regina also uses mindfulness practices to help with grounding and focus, and solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals. Trauma-focused methods are used when past harm is part of the problem.
In sessions she helps people build clearer communication, manage anger and compassion fatigue, and address family of origin or blended family concerns. She also supports those dealing with adoption and foster care questions, aging or caregiver stress, body image or cancer-related challenges.
Regina aims to help clients notice what is getting in the way and try practical steps that fit their life. She sees issues such as abandonment, commitment worries, and emptiness as things that can be worked on alongside everyday demands. Her practice is aimed at people who want concrete tools and steady support to handle interpersonal and personal challenges.
How Regina blends approaches for online sessions
Regina often uses client-centered work to listen for what matters most to the person and to shape sessions around their priorities. This approach emphasizes listening, reflecting, and helping people identify practical next steps for their everyday life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thought patterns and to test small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and improve sleep or stress management. Mindfulness techniques are offered as short practices to increase focus, calm strong emotions, and support grounding during difficult moments.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Regina will work with the client to identify goals and try methods that match those goals and personal preferences, checking in and adjusting as needed.
