About Jamie
Jamie Hood is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California. She has nine years of experience in mental health and a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Jamie aims to create a calm, practical space where parents and individuals can talk through stress, anxiety, and relationship concerns.
She has worked in independent practice, school-based programs, and shelters supporting people facing homelessness, substance use, domestic violence, and pregnancy-related challenges.
Background and approach
Those roles involved individual and group counseling, collaboration with school staff, and case management tasks. Jamie leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people see how thoughts link to feelings and actions, and she uses Client-Centered and attachment-focused tools to build stronger connections and self-worth.
She also draws on mindfulness and existential ideas to help people find meaning and cope with life changes. Her background includes many applied trainings and years working with youth, adults, and parents on issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting strain, and codependency. Jamie mentions lived experience with chronic illness and follows current research to inform her work.
Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with time spent naming problems, trying out new responses, and tracking what changes. She aims to give straightforward strategies you can use between meetings while attending to how your history and relationships shape present struggles.
Therapeutic approaches for online support and anxiety
Jamie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice patterns of thought that feed anxiety and stress, then practice different responses to shift feelings and behavior. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current connection and trust, which can be important for relationship or intimacy concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past, then pick or combine methods that fit. That collaboration helps shape a plan that feels manageable and relevant to daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls let people work face-to-face when helpful. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text let people share between sessions or use therapy without being on camera. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while balancing parenting, work, or other commitments.
