Regina Simon, LMSW

Regina Simon is a Michigan-based Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with 20 years of professional experience helping individuals and families navigate relationship and life challenges. She works with people facing LGBTQ+ concerns, family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, parenting difficulties, and anger management, and she brings a seasoned, empathetic approach to each case.

Her practice also addresses a wide range of related concerns, including abandonment and attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, questions of life purpose, men's issues, midlife transition, and mood-related concerns. Regina combines practical strategies with an understanding of how past relationships and current circumstances shape present well-being.

Regina treats clients with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she designs conversations and treatment plans to reflect each personâs unique needs and goals. As an LMSW - a licensed social work clinician trained to provide psychotherapy and case support - she draws on evidence-based methods while honoring clientsâ lived experience. She recognizes that beginning therapy takes courage and she values the initiative clients take when they reach out for support.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Regina draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify personal values and build practical habits that support a meaningful life. ACT focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with what matters most, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy is also a central approach in her work, exploring how early relationships influence current patterns in intimacy, trust, and communication. This focus can be useful for clients dealing with abandonment, attachment challenges, or repeated relationship conflicts.

She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop concrete skills for managing emotions and behaviors. CBT tends to be pragmatic and problem-focused, useful for mood concerns, impulse control, and building new coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Regina works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adapt strategies over time to fit changing circumstances.

Online formats - including video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent care from home or elsewhere. These options offer scheduling flexibility and allow clients to engage in therapy in the ways that feel most manageable for their lives while maintaining ongoing collaboration with licensed professionals and therapists.
