About Regina

Regina Burnette is a California-based licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people manage work stress, anxiety, relationship strain, anger, and low self-esteem. She focuses on practical steps to cope with life changes and restore a better daily balance. Regina writes plans with each person to match their needs and goals.

She draws on person-centered care to guide conversations. That means listening first, then shaping sessions around what matters most to the individual. Regina aims to help people let go of past hurts and reduce the patterns that get in the way of feeling more capable and content.

Across 17 years of practice, Regina has worked with people from varied backgrounds. She uses straightforward talk, empathy, and sensitivity when addressing topics like attachment, abandonment, and caregiver stress. Her approach also covers practical concerns such as money and communication problems.

Regina addresses emotional issues tied to mood, impulsivity, and isolation by helping people identify unhelpful habits and try new ways of responding. She supports those coping with divorce, forgiveness work, guilt and shame, and body image worries with patient, step-by-step planning.

Sessions are shaped to each person, with attention to what will realistically fit into their life. Regina emphasizes empowerment and encourages clients to take small, courageous steps toward change. She works in English and practices in California as an LCSW.

Approaches that focus on change and everyday coping

Regina works from person-centered principles, which prioritize the client's perspective and goals. That approach centers on listening, reflecting what matters, and shaping sessions around each person's priorities to help them move forward. It is useful for people unsure where to start or who want a respectful, collaborative space to talk about stress and relationships. She also uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. These techniques involve identifying behaviors or thoughts that get in the way, trying small experiments, and practicing new ways of handling triggers. This approach can help with anxiety, mood concerns, impulsivity, and improving communication. Finding the right approach is a shared process. Regina will work with clients to decide which techniques feel most helpful based on goals, preferences, and how a person responds in early sessions. She adjusts plans over time and encourages small, achievable steps toward greater wellbeing. Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed.
