Regina Simon

Regina Simon is a Michigan-based LMSW with 20 years of experience helping people facing relationship and identity struggles. She listens without judgment and focuses on practical steps you can use right away. Regina works with concerns around LGBT issues, intimacy, parenting, anger, and related pressures.

Her style is straightforward and respectful. Sessions begin with understanding what matters most to the person in front of her. Regina adapts conversation and plans to each person's situation instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach.

Regina draws from several therapy methods. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thinking. She also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered when emotion regulation and impulsivity are part of the problem.

People bring many related challenges to work on. Regina helps with abandonment and attachment issues, communication problems, control struggles, and feelings of guilt or shame. She also supports those dealing with body image, caregiver stress, isolation, and life-purpose questions.

She encourages small, concrete changes that fit daily life, and she frames therapy as a collaborative effort. If you’re ready to take a first step, she asks you to begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works for you.

How Regina’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It is useful when someone feels stuck, unsure of direction, or overwhelmed by emotions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current bonds; it helps when trust, closeness, or fear of abandonment show up in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s goals and pacing, offering a space where a person’s own perspective guides the work.

Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. Regina will help you decide which approach or combination fits your goals and comfort. This is a collaborative discussion that can change as progress is made or new concerns arise.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and quicker check-ins on days you need brief support. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking to learn what is available. Many people appreciate that online work can reduce travel time and let them focus on concrete skills and relationship patterns in the context of their day-to-day life.
