About Jamie
Jamie Hood is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California with nine years of clinical experience. She draws on a range of approaches to help people manage anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting stress, and major life changes. Jamie writes plainly and works to create a steady, respectful space for people to talk through what matters most to them.
Jamie’s career began in 2012 and includes time in independent practice, school-linked counseling, and work at a program for pregnant and unhoused women.
Background and approach
Those roles involved individual and group sessions and coordination with schools and community supports. She brings practical experience with issues like substance concerns, trauma, codependency, and family-of-origin problems. In sessions she often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors.
She also uses client-centered and attachment-based ideas to strengthen self-worth and relationships. Existential and mindfulness approaches appear in her work when people need help with meaning, values, or staying present. Her background includes helping young people through school-based services and supporting women facing housing instability and pregnancy-related stress.
Jamie also pays attention to chronic illness and its emotional impact, including her own experience with Type 1 diabetes, which informs her understanding of long-term health challenges. Outside of therapy she enjoys running, rock climbing, and reading, and she spends time with her spouse and two young children.
She frames therapy as a partnership and focuses on clear goals, steady support, and practical skills to move forward.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, values, and the big choices they face. It’s useful when someone feels stuck, questions purpose, or is dealing with major life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connections. It helps people understand patterns in intimacy, trust, and communication so they can build healthier bonds.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps most for mood, relationships, or daily functioning.
Online therapy offers flexibility that fits modern life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, brief reflections between sessions, and ongoing accountability. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family obligations.
