Regina Simon

Regina Simon is a Michigan-based licensed social worker who helps people facing eating and food-related issues alongside other concerns. She greets each person with respect and sensitivity and focuses on practical steps that fit their life. Regina recognizes that reaching out for help takes courage and aims to make the first session feel manageable and grounded.

With 20 years of professional experience, she draws on several evidence-informed approaches to shape treatment. Regina listens first, then works with each person to build a plan tailored to their needs. Sessions emphasize clear communication, skill-building, and realistic goals that can be practiced between meetings.

She commonly supports people dealing with relationship strains, intimacy-related concerns, and parenting stress, and addresses emotional drivers like guilt, shame, and abandonment. Body image, mood difficulties, anger, and feelings of isolation are also areas she helps people navigate. Regina treats these topics with straightforward language and compassion to reduce overwhelm and increase clarity.

Regina uses methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment principles, and attachment-based ideas to guide interventions. She also incorporates client-centered and dialectical behavior strategies as appropriate. The focus is on what works for each person rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.

If someone is unsure where to start, Regina helps sort priorities and sets small, achievable steps. Her approach aims to strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and support healthier relationships with food, self, and others.

How Regina’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps people move forward even when difficult thoughts or urges come up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior to build practical coping strategies for mood, eating, and anxiety-related concerns. It emphasizes skills you can practice between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses, which can help with intimacy, communication, and feelings of abandonment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful for their goals and preferences. That might mean combining techniques from different approaches and changing course if something does not fit.

The practical benefits of scheduling therapy online should be confirmed before booking, since specific session formats are not listed in the biography. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Talk with the therapist when scheduling to confirm available formats and to choose options that match your daily life and communication comfort.
