Regina Hughes, LCPC

Regina Hughes is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with 23 years of experience. She offers a calm, straightforward presence and helps people who are struggling to cope or who feel stuck. Regina draws on practical approaches to help clients find clearer ways to manage everyday problems and emotional pain.

Her work has included inpatient and outpatient settings and a range of concerns. She has supported people facing depression, bipolar mood challenges, anxiety and PTSD, addictions, anger, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She has experience working with ADHD, autism, and clients with academic or behavioral concerns.

Regina’s style is warm, open, and nonjudgmental. She centers the person in front of her and builds plans around each person’s goals. Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, try small changes, and develop tools that fit their life.

Her approach pulls from cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centered methods, dialectical behavior strategies, and emotionally-focused work. Regina adapts methods to match what each person needs rather than insisting on a single path.

People who choose her often want clear, usable steps and a supportive space to practice them. She encourages realistic goals, steady progress, and attention to strengths while working through setbacks.

Approaches that translate to online care

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and address mood or impulse concerns. It uses clear steps and practical exercises that work well in remote sessions.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify values and take committed actions despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It emphasizes mindfulness and workable choices, which can be practiced between meetings. Client-centered therapy centers the person’s experience, using empathic listening to help people feel heard and to guide change at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Regina collaborates with each person to choose or combine methods based on goals, preferences, and the issues at hand. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that can adapt as progress is made.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Chat and text are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats offer flexibility so therapy can fit into busy lives.
