About Regina
Regina Phelps is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with nine years as a licensed clinician. She has a long history in social services and brings practical experience with relationship strain, parenting challenges, addiction, grief, trauma, anger, and life transitions.
Regina works with individuals who are dealing with difficult emotions and stressful life changes. She uses straightforward conversation and collaborative planning to help people identify patterns that cause repeated conflict or steady frustration. Sessions focus on clear goals and doable steps rather than abstract theories.
Her background includes individual, couple, and group work in residential and outpatient settings before moving into her current practice. She trained at California State University, Fresno and holds the LMFT credential from the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. That mix of community work and formal training informs her practical approach.
In sessions Regina draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to break down unhelpful thoughts and to set small, measurable changes. She also borrows techniques from Narrative, Strategic, and Family Systems ideas when they fit a person’s situation. The emphasis stays on what someone wants to change and realistic ways to get there.
People who want clear steps for reducing anger, improving communication, or managing caregiving stress will find a direct, problem-solving style. Regina asks questions, suggests experiments to try between sessions, and adjusts plans as progress is made.
How sessions work
How cognitive and solution-focused work online
Regina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy in her work. CBT looks at thought patterns and behaviors that keep anger and frustration running on repeat. It involves noticing thoughts, testing them, and trying small behavior changes to reduce reactivity. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on what a person wants to be different and builds step-by-step changes toward those practical goals.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist and client will review needs, goals, and preferences together and choose techniques that fit. That collaborative decision shapes session tasks and follow-up between meetings.
Session formats are not specified in the biographical information, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when needed, and focus on concrete homework between meetings. Many people use remote sessions to keep continuity during life changes, reduce travel time, and maintain momentum on the skills they are practicing.
