About Regina

Regina Hughes is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns. She brings 14 years of experience and a straightforward, compassionate approach that aims to make the first step easier for worried parents and adults. Regina focuses on creating an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment.

Sessions tend to be practical and goal-focused. She listens, reflects what she hears, and helps people try new ways of coping when old patterns get in the way.

Background and approach

Her work often addresses parenting strain, communication problems, blended family issues, and challenges with intimacy and commitment. Regina also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, bipolar mood concerns, and stress from caregiving or career pressure. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is a common part of her approach.

She uses that framework to help people notice how thoughts influence feelings and behavior, and then practices different coping skills together in session. Clients can expect a warm but practical style focused on small, manageable changes. Regina will help identify priorities and set steps that fit each person’s life.

She is based in North Carolina and offers services in English, including options that suit busy schedules.

Approaches Regina names

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

CBT-driven care and flexible online options

Regina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many day-to-day challenges because it breaks problems into concrete parts to work on together.

Her approach centers on clear goals and practicing skills in session that can be used between meetings. She collaborates with each person to decide which techniques and pace feel right, adjusting the plan as needs and priorities change.

Online therapy here is offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. Video lets people see each other and work through exercises together, phone sessions are a good option when video is difficult or bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports quick reflections or ongoing practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments.
