About Regina

LMFT in California with nine years of licensed practice experience, Regina Phelps focuses on relationship, parenting, addiction, trauma, grief, and life changes. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and works with people who bring concerns about career stress, compassion fatigue, codependency, and veteran or armed forces issues.

Regina begins by listening to what a person is dealing with now. She uses straightforward conversation to identify immediate concerns and practical goals. Sessions often include steps to manage distress, improve communication, or address substance-related patterns.

Her work draws mainly on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. These approaches guide short-term skill-building and focused problem solving. She also incorporates narrative and family systems ideas when they fit the problem being addressed.

Regina has experience in both residential and outpatient settings and has provided individual, couples, and group therapy in earlier roles. That background informs how she structures sessions and plans ongoing work with clients.

In practice she prioritizes clear, collaborative planning. Conversations produce specific steps clients can try between meetings. Progress is reviewed regularly and plans are adjusted based on how those steps work in everyday life.

How Regina uses evidence-based approaches online

Regina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thinking and behavior patterns that feed anxiety, depression, or problematic coping. CBT sessions focus on specific skills and exercises that can be practiced between meetings to reduce distress and improve functioning.

She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and identify practical steps the person can take right away. This approach is useful for people who want focused work on a particular problem or transition.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Regina will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT skill-building, solution-focused steps, or a mix that fits the client's needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, or reduce travel time. Regina frames online work around practical goals and steps clients can use between meetings, rather than lengthy general discussion.
