About Jamie
Jamie Hood is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California. She has nine years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and anger. Jamie takes a straightforward, calm approach so people can talk through what matters most to them.
She aims to make sessions practical and focused on real-world change. Jamie began working in mental health in 2012 and earned a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Hope International University.
Background and approach
Her background includes independent practice and community settings where she provided individual and group support. She has experience working with people facing substance use concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and codependency. Her style blends cognitive behavioral ideas with attachment and mindfulness techniques.
In sessions she helps people notice how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect, and then tries small, doable changes to shift patterns. She also uses goal-focused strategies to keep work grounded in the present.
Jamie has worked in programs serving pregnant and unhoused women and in school-based youth services, gaining experience with crisis coordination, case management, and collaborative work with schools and community agencies. She brings that practical background to conversations about parenting, family problems, and young adult concerns.
Outside of clinical work she manages life with a recent Type 1 diabetes diagnosis and stays active through running, rock climbing, and family time. Jamie aims to create a respectful space where people can explore challenges and build clearer next steps.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy helps clients notice patterns in close relationships and how earlier bonds shape current reactions. Online sessions can be used to practice new ways of relating and to reflect on attachment patterns that affect anger, intimacy, and family dynamics.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, emotions, and actions. In video or chat sessions Jamie works with people to spot unhelpful thinking, test new beliefs, and try small behavior changes between appointments to reduce anxiety and anger.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jamie will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions require less bandwidth, live chat can be a quick check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
