About Regina
Regina Hughes is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 23 years of experience helping people manage life’s hard moments. She works with adults and teens on issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship concerns. Her background includes inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings and school-based work with clients who receive special education services.
Regina keeps an open, warm, and nonjudgmental approach in sessions. She creates a space where people can talk, feel heard, and make changes at their own pace.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on practical steps and clearer thinking instead of jargon. Her work draws from several approaches, including hypnotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She adapts techniques to what each person needs rather than using a single preset plan.
Regina has supported people through grief, parenting challenges, career transitions, chronic health struggles, and issues with self-esteem and intimacy. She also has experience with autism, ADHD, and attachment concerns when those come up in therapy. Sessions aim to help people build coping skills, reduce distress, and move toward goals that matter to them.
Regina emphasizes collaboration and practical tools so clients leave with steps they can use between sessions.

Online support
How Regina Uses Approaches Online
Hypnotherapy is an approach that uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help people change patterns of thinking and behavior. It is often used for stress, anxiety, habits, and coping with pain. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that match their values; it’s useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Regina will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than following a rigid script.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets you use worksheets and talk face-to-face, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat and text messaging can support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and stay connected when in-person visits are difficult.
