About Regina

Regina Garner is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 25 years of experience. She works with adults who want help managing anger, stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship or family challenges. Her approach is straightforward and practical, aimed at helping people make daily changes that feel doable.

She focuses on things people can try between sessions. That includes identifying unhelpful thoughts, experimenting with new ways to respond to triggering situations, and building calmer routines. Regina uses methods from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to reduce reactivity and increase control over emotional responses.

Regina also brings techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and client-centered work when a person needs skills for tolerating distress or clearer communication. She pays attention to how past family patterns shape present behavior and helps people notice those connections. Conversations are paced to match what the client can manage in the moment.

Practical concerns like parenting stress, career pressure, and caregiver burnout are regular topics. She also supports people facing major life transitions, grief, and issues around intimacy or commitment. Regina offers coaching-style work when clients want concrete steps toward specific goals.

Sessions tend to focus on skill building and problem solving more than long verbal histories. Regina encourages short experiments between meetings and checks progress each session. People who prefer direct, down-to-earth guidance about anger and related concerns will find a practical orientation in her work.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can clarify their own goals. In practice this means sessions often start by asking what matters most that week and shaping conversations around the client's priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves noticing thought patterns that feed anger or anxiety and trying alternate ways of thinking. Online work can include tracking thoughts between sessions and reviewing short exercises together during meetings.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes concrete skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer communication. Those skills are commonly practiced in brief role-plays or homework tasks that a person reports back on the next session.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client will discuss which methods fit the person's goals, daily life, and preferences, and then adjust tactics over time based on what helps most.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Many people find remote sessions useful because they reduce travel time, fit into a workday, and make it easier to follow through on between-session tasks. If a quieter or shorter check-in works better for a particular week, that can be arranged in discussion with the therapist.
