About Regina

Regina Garner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 25 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with relationship strain, family concerns, grief, parenting pressures, anxiety, stress, trauma, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar. Regina also helps people facing caregiving strain, blended-family challenges, and issues around communication and intimacy.

Her approach is practical and person-focused. She listens first, then helps people identify small steps that can make everyday life easier. Sessions often center on managing difficult feelings, improving communication, and building coping skills for stressful moments.

Regina draws on several therapeutic methods including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior strategies. She also brings mindfulness and Jungian ideas into sessions when those perspectives fit a client's needs. These tools are used to help with thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and relationship dynamics.

She has long experience supporting adults through life transitions such as divorce, bereavement, career change, and end-of-life caregiving. Regina also works with challenges like codependency, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and compassion fatigue that can come from caring roles.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation and concrete skills to try between sessions. Regina accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English. To start, readers should follow the service booking flow and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule an initial appointment.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Regina uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify what matters to them and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the client's priorities, while CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to shift them.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) strategies for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. DBT techniques are useful for managing strong emotions, improving communication, and reducing reactivity in tense family interactions.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the first sessions. She will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences rather than prescribing one single model. That conversation can include trying different tools and checking what helps over time.

Because session formats are not specified here, confirm the current online session options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work or caregiving schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove the need to travel. The online setting still supports skill practice, discussion of relationship patterns, and planning for manageable changes at home.
