About Regina

Regina Ambs is a Michigan-based licensed professional counselor (LPC) who helps people facing hard life moments. She supports those dealing with relationship strain, grief, trauma, stress, anxiety, and questions about identity. Her style is warm and straightforward so people can feel heard and work toward clearer next steps.

Regina spends sessions listening closely to each person’s story before recommending ways forward. She uses practical tools to ease overwhelming feelings and to improve communication. Many people come for help with sleep trouble, anger, low self-esteem, career stress, or compassion fatigue.

Her work draws on methods like client-centered therapy and mindfulness to build awareness. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and set concrete goals. For those affected by painful past events, trauma-focused approaches are part of the plan.

Regina pays attention to family and relationship patterns, and she can help people untangle issues linked to adoption and foster care or attachment concerns. She treats each situation as unique and adjusts support to fit what a person needs now.

With 16 years of experience as an LPC, she aims to help people regain stability and make decisions that suit their lives. To begin, clients answer a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. Online sessions can recreate this by giving space to tell your story and to name what you want to change. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and uses small experiments and skill practice. That model lends itself well to short exercises and homework between online meetings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will help you identify goals, try different methods, and adjust as you go. Together you decide which tools fit your needs and daily life rather than assuming one way will work for everyone.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how Regina currently meets with people. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to keep continuity when life requires flexibility, while still focusing on practical skills and emotional processing.
