Regina Ambs, LPC

Regina Ambs is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma, anxiety, stress, and the challenges of parenting and caregiving. She works with concerns like sleeping problems, low self-esteem, career stress, compassion fatigue, and identity questions. Regina frames therapy around real-life problems and practical steps people can use between sessions.

She uses a collaborative, down-to-earth style. Sessions are conversational and focus on what matters most to the client in the moment. Regina draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's priorities and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that keep problems stuck.

Regina also integrates Mindfulness Therapy to help clients notice reactions and reduce overwhelm. For those who have faced abuse or sudden loss, she brings Trauma-Focused Therapy into treatment in ways that respect pacing and emotional safety. She includes Solution-Focused Therapy techniques to set concrete, short-term goals and track progress.

With 16 years of clinical experience, Regina aims to make therapy useful and manageable. She helps people build clearer communication skills, stronger coping tools, and a steadier sense of self. Many clients come for life transitions, blended family adjustments, adoption and foster care concerns, or stress related to caregiving and health changes.

Regina practices in Michigan and offers services in English. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and then schedule sessions based on availability. Her approach is practical, compassionate, and oriented toward helping people regain a sense of direction.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client; it helps people clarify their own goals and feel understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood, or relationship problems, and then tests small behavior changes to see what improves daily life. Mindfulness Therapy supports noticing emotions and bodily reactions without getting swept up by them, which can reduce stress and improve sleep.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaborative planning can change over time as progress is made or priorities shift.

Confirm the specific online session formats before booking, since this profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use practices like mindfulness exercises or CBT worksheets between meetings, so therapy can connect more directly with everyday life.
