About Regina
Regina Hughes is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 23 years of experience. She draws on a long career in education and clinical settings to help people who are struggling with stress, depression, anxiety, substance concerns, and relationship strain. Regina emphasizes a respectful, open approach where clients feel heard and understood.
Her background includes work in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings, and experience supporting people after physical trauma or emotional abuse. She has supported adults, teens, and families, and has worked with those receiving special education services who face academic or behavioral challenges such as autism and ADHD.
Regina uses methods from cognitive-behavioral traditions alongside client-centered, emotion-focused, and acceptance-oriented approaches. She adapts plans to each person's needs and life situation rather than using one fixed program. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical skills, and moments for reflection.
In the room she aims to be warm, nonjudgmental, and straightforward. Conversations often include problem-solving for daily stress, skill building for mood or anxiety, and attention to relationship and parenting concerns. Regina also addresses grief, anger, addictive behaviors, and life transitions.
People who prefer an empathetic listener with practical tools may find her approach helpful. She invites those ready to take steps toward change to begin a process of steady work and growth.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then take action toward what matters to them. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and making value-based changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing practical skills to change behavior and mood. It is often used for depression, anxiety, and coping skill building. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on understanding emotional responses in relationships and improving how people express needs and connect with others.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Regina will discuss options and collaborate with each person to find the best fit based on goals and preferences. That process may include trying techniques from more than one approach until a comfortable path emerges.
