Regina Kujawa, LCSW

Regina Kujawa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who draws on three decades of experience in mental health care. She uses a holistic approach that connects talk therapy with body-based methods to help people manage stress, addiction concerns, anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. Regina aims for clear, practical work in sessions so clients can make changes that matter in day-to-day life.

She has provided psychotherapy in settings that include inpatient hospitalization, intensive in-home services, substance and alcohol treatment, and outpatient therapy. That range gives her a practical sense of how to structure care for different levels of need. She also brings crisis management experience to situations that need calm, steady planning.

Regina combines attachment-based ideas with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness practices to address emotions, communication, and stress regulation. In addition, she is credentialed in Tension & Trauma Release Exercises, a body-oriented method that helps release muscular patterns of stress and supports nervous system regulation.

Her practice includes work related to trauma and abuse, grief, family and relationship struggles, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping concerns, caregiving stress, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. She helps people facing life transitions, caregiving challenges, and matters connected to adoption and blended families.

Regina practices in North Carolina and offers care in English. She emphasizes collaboration: clients and the therapist set goals together and pick approaches that fit each person's needs.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and emotional responses. In online sessions this approach helps people identify patterns in relationships and practice new ways of connecting and communicating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns. Online CBT can provide structured exercises and real-time coaching for managing anxiety, depression, and addictive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Regina will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and daily life. That process may mix attachment ideas, CBT skills, DBT techniques, mindfulness, and body-focused practices when appropriate, with clear explanations about why each method might help.

If you plan to use online therapy, confirm which session formats the therapist is offering before scheduling. Different formats can make practical differences - for example, shorter check-ins can fit into a busy workday, audio-only sessions can use less bandwidth, and video sessions let the therapist observe nonverbal cues. Online care can make it easier to keep therapy in regular routines and to access a licensed professional from wherever you are, but check the current options to see what matches your needs.
