Regina Simon , LMSW

Regina Simon is a Michigan-licensed social worker with 20 years of experience. She focuses on helping people navigate women's issues, LGBT concerns, parenting stress, anger, and intimacy-related problems. Regina centers each session on respect and sensitivity so clients feel heard and understood.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then helps people set realistic goals and small steps. Regina adapts conversations and plans to match each person's life and priorities rather than following a single rigid method.

Regina draws on several therapy approaches to match the client's needs. She uses strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also employs attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current struggles and to improve emotional connection.

She often includes acceptance and commitment tactics to help people clarify values and take meaningful action even with uncomfortable feelings. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when emotional regulation and strong reactions get in the way of daily life. Client-centered techniques guide sessions so the person's experience leads the pace and focus.

Regina works with concerns like abandonment, body image, communication problems, caregiver stress, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, and mood disorders. She supports people through divorce and separation, control issues, forgiveness work, and midlife transitions. Her approach aims to make change feel practical and manageable.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when feelings are difficult. This approach is useful for issues like life purpose, anxiety, and struggles with shame or isolation.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and trust. It helps people improve communication, address abandonment concerns, and strengthen emotional bonds in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Regina will collaborate with each person to combine methods that fit their goals, needs, and personal preferences. Sessions begin with listening and planning so the approach can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be quicker when less bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel.
