Regina Kujawa, LCSW

Regina Kujawa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three decades of experience in mental health. She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and relationship and family concerns. Her style is straightforward and focused on helping people find relief and better daily functioning.

Regina has worked across inpatient, intensive in-home, substance and alcohol treatment, and outpatient settings. That variety shaped a flexible approach that fits different life situations. She draws on skills developed helping people through grief, separation and divorce, and substance-related issues.

In sessions she combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with attention to attachment patterns and emotion regulation. Regina teaches coping skills for mood, sleep, and anger, and offers tools to address body-based stress responses. She also supports people coping with caregiving strain, chronic illness, and identity-related concerns such as gender and LGBT issues.

Her practical toolkit includes strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices to help manage intense feelings and improve day-to-day coping. Regina also integrates body-centered exercises to reduce somatic tension when appropriate. Her background in crisis management means she can help stabilize people during high-stress times.

People who choose Regina can expect clear goal-setting, step-by-step skill work, and a focus on real-world changes. She aims to help clients build routines that improve sleep, reduce anxiety, and strengthen relationships over time.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Regina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday struggles because it focuses on practical steps and homework between sessions.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns affect current partnerships and emotional responses. That work helps when people want to improve intimacy, communication, and trust with others.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals and try strategies together to see what fits best. Regina adjusts methods over time so work in therapy aligns with a person’s needs and life demands.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and in-session skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer flexible ways to share thoughts between sessions or check in during busy days. These options can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or health constraints.
