Regina Ambs, LPC

Regina Ambs is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship struggles. She brings 16 years of experience supporting people through major life changes and painful events. Regina aims to make sessions practical and focused so clients leave with clear next steps.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change behavior that keeps problems going. Regina also practices client-centered work, listening closely so people feel heard and understood. Mindfulness techniques are mixed in to help with overwhelming feelings and to build present-moment coping skills.

Regina often helps people who are dealing with trauma, abuse, or complicated grief. She also supports concerns like parenting stress, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, and career-related pressure. Additional focus areas include attachment and family of origin issues, adoption and foster care topics, caregiver stress, and body image struggles.

Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. Regina will help set small, doable goals and check progress along the way. Conversations tend to be direct and compassionate, with concrete tools to try between meetings.

Her practice is based in Michigan and she works in English. Regina describes therapy as a partnership where practical strategies and thoughtful listening are used together to help people regain a sense of control and move forward.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Regina integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to manage strong emotions and reduce rumination.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods that fit the person, and adjust as progress is tracked. Together they decide which techniques to keep using and which to change based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions work well for deeper conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions are a lower-bandwidth option and can fit into a busy day. Live chat or messaging is useful for quick check-ins, homework support, or shorter exchanges between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to use therapy in a way that fits daily life.
