About Regina
Regina Phelps is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with nine years as a licensed clinician. She brings long experience in social services and has supported people facing anxiety, addiction, grief, and big life changes. Regina aims to create a welcoming space where people can talk honestly and begin practical steps toward feeling better.
Regina begins by meeting each person where they are. She listens first, then helps set clear goals that fit everyday life.
How Regina works
Sessions focus on real skills and small changes that add up over time. Regina blends straightforward, goal-oriented techniques with a person-centered attitude to match the pace someone prefers. Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood, and Solution-Focused Therapy, which centers on building practical solutions.
She also uses elements from narrative and family systems approaches when they help move things forward. This mix allows sessions to be both pragmatic and attentive to each person's story. People come for help with relationship strain, parenting stress, career shifts, compassion fatigue, and issues connected to trauma or loss.
Regina also addresses caregiver stress, codependency, and veteran or armed forces concerns. She tailors the plan to the problem at hand and adjusts as progress is made. Her style is calm and direct.
Regina aims for clear next steps after each session, whether that means a new coping skill, a different way of thinking about a problem, or a short action to try before the next meeting. The focus is practical, steady progress.

How Regina Uses Practical Approaches Online
Regina commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavior changes to shift mood and stress. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to define clear, short-term goals and build step-by-step plans that lead to measurable progress.Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Regina listens to each person's goals and preferences, then suggests techniques to try. Together they review what works and adjust methods as needed so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy allows these approaches to fit into busy lives. Video calls let for face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can offer a lighter lift when bandwidth is limited or for easier scheduling. Live chat and text-based messaging work for brief check-ins, homework reviews, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options give flexibility while keeping focus on practical skills and steady progress.
