What is the difference between a HECM reverse mortgage and a regular reverse mortgage?

I have seen both referred to but do not understand how they differ. Can you please explain it to me?

There's no difference at all, a HECM reverse mortgage is the same thing as a regular reverse mortgage. HECM stands for Home Equity Conversion Mortgage. It is the FHA's (Federal Housing Administration) reverse mortgage program which enables you to withdraw some of the equity in your home. American Advisors Group will help you find out if you're eligible for a reverse mortgage, and then stay with you every step of the way should you choose to release the equity in your property this way.
