Regina Phelps , LMFT

Regina Phelps is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California who brings a supportive, client-centered approach to therapy. She meets individuals, couples, and groups where they are and works alongside them as they navigate anxiety, relationship and parenting challenges, grief and loss, addiction, trauma, and major life transitions.

She is also attentive to caregiver issues, compassion fatigue, and the challenges that arise during life changes.

She emphasizes open, direct conversations and a tailored plan that aligns with each client's goals and pace.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into more constructive patterns. It often includes practical exercises and coping strategies that can help with anxiety, mood concerns, and stress related to daily life.

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes goals and strengths, helping clients build on what is already working and set small, achievable steps toward change. This approach can be useful for relationship concerns, transitions, and situations where clients want practical, forward-looking progress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Regina Phelps works with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and circumstances, and together they select or combine methods that best fit each person’s needs. The therapist adjusts strategies over time to reflect what is most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexible access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access licensed professionals from different locations. Regina integrates her clinical approaches into online sessions to provide practical support and therapeutic guidance in ways that align with each client’s life and goals.
