About Regina

Regina Hughes is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 14 years of professional experience. She helps adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family tensions, and parenting challenges. Regina also addresses issues such as grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, and problems with intimacy and self-esteem.

Her approach is straightforward and practical. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable steps that can be practiced between meetings.

Regina pays attention to family-related concerns, including blended family stress, fatherhood issues, family of origin problems, and communication breakdowns. She also supports people facing caregiver stress, codependency, divorce and separation, and the effects of natural or human-caused disasters.

Conversations in sessions are meant to be direct and nonjudgmental. Regina encourages open talk about difficult feelings and practical problem solving. She helps clients work toward clearer boundaries, better communication, and more steady day-to-day coping.

To begin, clients follow an online matching process and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location, and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.

How sessions work

How CBT is used in online sessions and what to expect

Regina primarily uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT helps people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavior changes, and practicing new ways of coping between meetings. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with mood or motivation.

The choice of therapeutic approach is part of the work together. She will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest CBT techniques or other practical options. The plan can change as you learn what helps and what doesn’t. Decisions about methods are collaborative and focused on manageable steps you can try at home.

Session arrangements and formats should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow sessions when bandwidth is limited by choosing audio-only rather than video. Confirm current session options and scheduling details before your first appointment.
