Regina Kujawa , LCSW

Regina Kujawa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 30 years of experience in mental health. As an LCSW she holds a clinical social work license that authorizes her to provide psychotherapy and related clinical services. Over three decades she has provided care across a range of settings including inpatient hospitalization, intensive in-home services, substance and alcohol abuse treatment, and outpatient therapy.

Her work has addressed many clinical concerns such as depression, anxiety, gender dysphoria, substance and alcohol use disorders, and challenges related to separation and divorce. She has supported individuals, couples, and families through trauma, loss, and sexual abuse, combining compassionate listening with education and practical tools. Regina emphasizes working with the body as part of healing, teaching clients techniques that help reduce physical symptoms associated with stress and trauma.

Drawing on a background in fitness and body-centered approaches, she is credentialed in Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE). TRE is a method that encourages the body to release deep muscular patterns of stress and tension, helping the nervous system move toward a calmer, more balanced state. Regina also brings skills in crisis management to her practice and integrates holistic strategies alongside psychotherapy to support recovery and resilience.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Regina draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this approach helps individuals and couples understand connection, trust, and attachment needs and is useful for relationship issues and family dynamics. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. In addition, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete strategies for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be particularly helpful for strong emotions and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Regina works collaboratively with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Through conversation and assessment she tailors interventions and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility - sessions can happen by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins can be done via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, maintain continuity of care across locations, and access timely support when challenges arise.
