Regina Kujawa, LCSW

Regina Kujawa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience in mental health care. She has provided psychotherapy across a range of settings including inpatient hospitalization, intensive in-home services, substance and alcohol treatment programs, and outpatient therapy. Over her career she has worked with individuals, couples, and families facing depression, anxiety, gender dysphoria, substance and alcohol use concerns, trauma, loss, and the challenges of separation and divorce.

Regina uses a holistic approach to treatment that draws on her background in fitness and body-focused work. She is credentialed in Tension & Trauma Release Exercises (TRE), a gentle method that supports the body in releasing deep patterns of stress and tension so the nervous system can move toward a calmer state. In practice she combines evidence-based talk therapies with body-centered techniques to help clients manage symptoms and rebuild resilience. Regina is also skilled in crisis management and aims to provide compassionate education and practical tools that clients can use in daily life.

Clients can expect a therapist who attends to emotional experience, relational patterns, and bodily responses, working collaboratively to address immediate concerns and longer-term healing goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Regina integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns, helping clients improve connection, trust, and emotional bonds in close relationships. CBT is a structured approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. DBT teaches practical skills for regulating intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for mood instability and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Regina will work with each person to explore needs, goals, and preferences, adapting methods over time to find the best fit and combining techniques when appropriate. This process is paced to match what the client is ready for and focused on tangible progress.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into a busy life or to access therapists when in-person options are limited. These options support continuity of care and allow therapists and licensed professionals to tailor communication styles and session formats to each client’s needs.
