Regina SimonLMSW

Regina Simon is a licensed social worker in Michigan with 20 years of experience. She focuses on concerns that often come up around pregnancy and childbirth, as well as relationship and parenting stress. Regina aims to meet people where they are and to make the first step feel manageable.

She uses a blend of talk-based strategies rooted in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment-Based approaches. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused, with practical skills you can try between meetings. Regina listens for what matters most and adapts the plan as needs change.

Clients commonly bring issues such as intimacy concerns, parenting strain, anger, or questions about identity and LGBT topics. Regina also addresses body image, guilt and shame, communication breakdowns, and mood shifts that can accompany life transitions like pregnancy or new parenthood.

Her work incorporates elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to help people build emotion regulation and clearer communication. Discussion of attachment patterns often helps with recurring relationship pain and parenting choices.

Regina encourages steady progress rather than quick fixes. She helps people practice new ways of coping, test different choices, and follow personal values. If you are thinking about starting therapy, she asks that you complete the introductory questionnaire and schedule a first session to see if the fit feels right.

How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, value-driven steps. It helps when people feel stuck by teaching ways to accept difficult feelings while moving toward a life that matters to them.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and parenting choices. It can help people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and try new responses that feel safer and more connected.

Finding the right way of working is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That plan can change as you learn what helps most in real life.

For online therapy logistics please confirm the session formats offered before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, cut travel time, and allow short check-ins when schedules are tight. Some approaches lend themselves to practical home assignments and skills practice that translate well to remote sessions. If you prefer a particular way of meeting, ask about options during the matching process so sessions match your routine and goals.
