About Regina

Regina Hughes is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) licensed in North Carolina with 14 years of professional experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, family conflicts, and parenting challenges.

Regina uses practical, talk-based sessions to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to break down problems into clear steps. Sessions focus on small behavior changes, thought patterns, and skills that can be practiced between meetings.

Clients can expect direct conversation about current worries and goals. Regina offers straightforward tools for handling moments of high stress or social pressure. She also addresses issues that often come alongside anxiety, such as sleep problems, low mood, or difficulty arguing without escalating.

When relationships or family problems are involved, sessions look at communication, boundaries, and practical next steps. Parenting discussions cover routines, setting limits, and managing stress so parents can be more consistent and less reactive.

Regina’s background includes many years working with adults on mood, anxiety, addictions, trauma-related concerns, grief, and role changes. She combines clear explanation with step-by-step practice. Many people find the structure of CBT helpful when facing worry, repetitive negative thoughts, or difficult decisions.

How CBT and online sessions can fit your life

Regina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying anxious or unhelpful thoughts and testing out different ways of thinking and acting. CBT often involves short practical exercises and step-by-step practice to reduce anxious reactions and improve coping with social situations or stress. Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about concerns, goals, and preferences, and then choose techniques that match those needs. That collaborative decision making helps decide whether to emphasize thought work, behavior experiments, or skills practice. The therapist’s biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling around work, childcare, or travel. They can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce commuting time, and help people connect with a licensed professional from another location. These practical benefits can make it simpler to keep regular appointments and practice skills between sessions.
