Regina Simon, LMSW

Regina Simon is a Michigan-based licensed master social worker (LMSW) with 20 years of professional experience. She helps people facing challenges around LGBT concerns, family conflict, intimacy issues, parenting stress, and anger. Regina aims to meet each person where they are and make the first steps in therapy feel manageable.

Her style centers on respectful, sensitive, and compassionate conversation. Sessions begin with listening to what matters most to the client and shaping a plan together. She adapts language and pacing so people can move at a comfortable speed and try approaches that fit their life.

Regina uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide that work. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and reduce avoidance. Cognitive behavioral techniques help unpack thinking patterns that maintain mood and behavior problems. Attachment-based perspectives inform work around closeness, trust, and recurring relationship patterns.

Over two decades she has supported people dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image concerns, caregiver strain, and communication breakdowns. She also helps with control issues, divorce and separation adjustments, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, and searching for life purpose.

Regina works in English and accepts international clients. If you are looking for steady, down-to-earth support while you sort out family, relationship, or parenting struggles, she invites you to take the first step and reach out.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Regina works with approaches that help people clarify values, repair connection, and change unhelpful thoughts. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values while learning to tolerate difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice thought and behavior patterns that keep mood and stress problems going and then experiment with different actions to shift those patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect trust, closeness, and emotional responses, which can be helpful for intimacy and family concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Regina will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit your needs. Over the first sessions she will check in and adjust the plan as you learn what helps most.

The therapist's profile does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm available session options before booking. Many people pursue online therapy to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, or make it easier to join from different time zones when international arrangements are needed. Online work can also make it simpler to do short check-ins, practice skills between sessions, and bring therapy into the rhythm of everyday life.
