About Regina

Regina Garner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 25 years of experience. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, and coping with life changes. She also helps with issues around self-esteem, motivation, parenting concerns, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder.

Regina uses practical, structured methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought patterns and try new responses. She also incorporates client-centered techniques to keep sessions focused on the person's immediate concerns and goals.

When emotions run high, Regina uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices to teach concrete ways to manage distress and improve emotional regulation. She brings Jungian ideas about meaning and personal narrative into conversations when exploring long-standing patterns and identity questions.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Regina works with clients to set clear, manageable steps between meetings. She emphasizes skills people can practice in daily life to reduce stress and improve relationships.

Regina has spent many years helping people through big transitions - divorce, caregiving, end-of-life issues, and blended family changes. She also supports people dealing with trauma, abuse aftermath, codependency, and the strain of caregiving or compassion fatigue. Her approach is direct and practical, aimed at producing usable tools clients can apply right away.

How her approaches translate to online work

Regina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in practical ways. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Client-centered work keeps the focus on the client's immediate concerns and priorities, using listening and reflection to clarify goals. DBT offers skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling relationship problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Regina will discuss goals, preferences, and daily demands and then recommend methods to try. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as needs shift.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm which session options are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, avoiding travel time, or using a phone call when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits help people maintain consistency with the skill practice and steps agreed on during sessions.
