Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Regina often uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships; this can be useful for grief, identity questions, and recurring patterns that feel stuck. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following each person’s pace so sessions feel respectful and collaborative. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used when clients want concrete techniques to test new thoughts and behaviors and manage symptoms like anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Regina will talk with each person about goals, daily routines, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they choose and try methods that fit the client’s preferences and life circumstances, adjusting as needed over time.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when deeper connection helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone wants to avoid being on camera. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins, quick coping tools, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options help therapy fit into busy lives and changing schedules.
