Regina Hughes, LCPC

Regina Hughes is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and educator who has provided counseling to adults, teens, and families in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings. She brings experience working with a wide range of concerns, including depression, stress and anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, anger and relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, career-related stress, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and substance use issues. She has also supported many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse and has worked with clients receiving special education services who face academic and behavioral concerns, including autism and ADHD.

As an LCPC - a credential that denotes a licensed clinician qualified to provide professional counseling - Regina emphasizes a warm, open, and nonjudgmental therapeutic stance. Her work is client-centered, focused on creating a space where people feel heard, valued, and respected so they can work toward meaningful change. She draws from a blend of evidence-informed and experiential methods, tailoring treatment plans to each person by integrating cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, hypnotherapy, and rational-emotive techniques as appropriate.

Regina approaches therapy as a collaborative process, offering support and guidance to help clients take steps toward a more fulfilling life. She welcomes those ready to begin that work and aims to empower them through individualized care.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Regina integrates several therapeutic approaches to meet each client's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action while learning strategies to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist provides empathy and support so clients can explore their feelings and build self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Regina works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances, adapting techniques over time as progress and needs evolve. This partnership helps ensure treatment feels relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video call, over the phone, through live chat, or using text-based messaging. These options make it easier to attend appointments around work, family, or mobility constraints and allow ongoing access to licensed professionals and therapists from different locations, supporting consistent care when it is needed.
