How Regina Uses CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Regina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking and tests small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage anger, or shift habits. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on what is already working and on practical next steps; it helps people set clear, short-term goals and track progress.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Regina works collaboratively to figure out which method fits a person's goals and preferences. She may mix techniques so sessions match immediate needs and longer-term change efforts.
