I am a licensed clinical social worker in Missouri and Nevada. I am located in Missouri and I have 21 years of professional work experience. Much of my experience has been helping individuals and family systems through a crisis situation. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, motivation, self-esteem and confidence, career difficulties, & coping with life changes. My desire, as I work with my clients, is to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Regina is understanding, encouraging and provides critical thinking to provide solutions. She listens and makes realistic suggestions.
Regina. Is. Amazing! While I haven't done therapy many times in my life, I look forward to it every week or so because of her keen listening, positive feedback, and encouragement toward a growth mindset. I love that she checks in with me here and there throughout the week because I get to take a step back and reflect on how I'm feeling. Overall, I would totally recommend her and BetterHelp, as it was such a great decision for me!
