About Regina
Regina Phelps is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on common life challenges such as anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, grief and loss, addiction, trauma, and coping with major life changes. Regina works directly with individuals and can offer both short-term problem solving and longer-term support.
Before becoming an LMFT she spent many years in social services, and that background informs how she structures sessions. She favors clear, practical steps and helps people notice the thoughts and habits that keep problems going. Regina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside solution-focused techniques when those methods fit a person's goals.
Sessions are conversational but goal-oriented. Regina often breaks issues into manageable tasks and suggests experiments to try between meetings. She may draw on narrative or strategic ideas when those approaches help illuminate patterns and choices.
She has experience in residential and outpatient settings and has run individual, couples and group work in the past. Her additional focus areas include caregiver stress, codependency, and veteran and armed forces issues.
Regina earned a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from California State University, Fresno and holds the California LMFT credential. She asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session to begin planning practical next steps.
How CBT and Solution-Focused Work in Remote Sessions
Regina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding. CBT in practical terms means identifying specific thoughts and behaviors, practicing small experiments, and tracking results between meetings. Solution-Focused Therapy is brief and goal-directed; it concentrates on concrete steps that move someone toward the changes they want and highlights small wins along the way.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Regina will discuss options and decide with each person which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative decision can change over time as priorities shift or new challenges appear.
The biography does not list the exact session formats used, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Regina frames remote work around practical routines and homework tasks so sessions fit into everyday life rather than feeling like an added burden.
