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.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Regina directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Regina blends Narrative Therapy with Attachment-Based and Cognitive Behavioral approaches to help people understand their stories, relationships, and thought patterns. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps reframe harmful or limiting narratives. Attachment-Based work focuses on how early relationships shape emotional patterns and helps people build more supported ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) zeroes in on thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches skills to shift those patterns.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Regina will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on what is helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and more interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text are useful for short check-ins, skill practice, and people who want written exchanges. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and keep continuity when in-person visits are not possible.
