About Regina
Regina Hughes is an LCMHC - Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina with 14 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, family conflict, and parenting challenges. Regina also addresses issues such as addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, codependency, and difficulties with intimacy.
Her approach is practical and direct. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice patterns in their thinking and behavior. Sessions focus on concrete steps clients can try between meetings, and on making small changes that add up over time.
Regina aims to create an open environment where people can talk about thoughts and feelings without judgment. She helps clients untangle what they want from what others expect. Conversations cover setting boundaries, reducing people-pleasing, and coping with another person's mood or substance use.
She draws on experience across many concerns, including caregiver stress, blended family issues, body image, and work-related pressure. Regina also supports people managing bipolar symptoms, ADHD-related struggles, and compassion fatigue from stressful roles.
Clients who work with her can expect straightforward planning, skill-building exercises, and review of what is or isn’t working. The process emphasizes small, measurable shifts in daily routines and in how people respond to stress. To begin, clients follow the normal intake route to schedule a first session and discuss goals.
How sessions work
How CBT translates to online sessions
Regina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and then tests small changes to see what helps. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with relationships and self-critical thinking.Her work also focuses on boundary and behavior skills that people can practice between meetings. These are taught in simple steps, such as small experiments, thought records, and real-life role practice to reduce people-pleasing and manage intense reactions.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans based on what proves useful. Finding the right mix of skills and exercises is part of the first few sessions.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, keep appointments during travel, or use shorter check-ins when time is tight. It also means practical exercises and worksheets can be shared and reviewed between meetings to track progress.
