About Camilla
Camilla Ford welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of the next step. She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 25 years of clinical experience, and she offers calm, practical support for concerns such as stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, addictions, and anger. Camilla listens with warmth and attention.
Sessions are collaborative and focus on what the client already knows and what they want to change.
Background and approach
She helps people identify small, doable steps to reduce distress and improve daily life. Her background includes work in day treatment programs, schools, hospitals, and independent practice across California. That variety of settings shaped her ability to adapt to different needs and life situations.
Camilla holds a master’s degree in psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies and completed undergraduate studies at Stanford. Her main influence is humanistic and person-centered practice. She centers the conversation on the person in front of her, offering empathetic listening and practical guidance rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Therapy sessions emphasize strengths, connection, and problem solving. Camilla speaks English and Spanish and aims to make sessions approachable and direct. She supports people coping with transitions, chronic stress, career pressures, mood concerns such as depression or bipolar symptoms, and challenges with intimacy or self-esteem.
Her style is steady, warm, and focused on helping people move forward.

Evidence-based approaches and online options that fit your life
Camilla draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize active listening, emotional understanding, and practical skills. Person-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting a person’s own strengths to make changes; it helps with anxiety, low mood, and relationship concerns. Another practical approach she uses emphasizes coping skills and problem solving to handle stress, anger, sleep or eating difficulties, and day-to-day setbacks by teaching short, actionable strategies.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to decide which techniques match the client’s goals, values, and needs, and they adjust the plan over time based on what’s helpful.
Online therapy with Camilla is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility for different schedules and preferences. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat or messaging supports ongoing contact and brief updates between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional support.
