Regina Kilberg, LMFT
Compassionate therapist who emphasizes relationship patterns
About Regina
Regina Kilberg is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California with nine years of experience. She focuses on helping people understand their inner experience and how early relationships shape current patterns.
Background and approach
Regina meets people where they are and adapts her way of working to each person's needs. Her style mixes attachment and psychodynamic ideas with practical, down-to-earth conversation.
Sessions aim to help people notice how past hurts influence present reactions. Regina helps clients build clearer boundaries, better communication, and more satisfying connections.
She works with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy struggles, parenting questions, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around identity and self-esteem. Regina also supports people managing bipolar symptoms, ADHD, eating and sleeping difficulties, and major life changes.
In the room she focuses on creating an open, nonjudging space where feelings and memories can be shared. Therapy is collaborative - goals are set together and adjusted as progress is made.
Regina uses gentle reflection and practical steps so people can try new ways of relating to themselves and others. Clients can expect clear conversation about patterns, gentle attention to painful memories, and hands-on tools for managing stress and strong emotions.
Regina encourages small experiments between sessions to build confidence and change daily habits.
How attachment and emotion-focused work translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional responses. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in how they connect and practice new ways of relating in real time. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and expressing core emotions in relationship moments, which can deepen connection and reduce conflict when practiced in sessions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening without judgment and following the client's pace, giving space for people to name goals and decide the next steps.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That choice can shift as therapy progresses, so plans are reviewed and adjusted together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible and flexible. Video lets people use visual cues and practice new interactions. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging allow for shorter check-ins, timely coaching, and written reflections between longer sessions. These options help therapy fit into work, caregiving, and busy schedules while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
