About Jamie
Jamie Hood is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with nine years of clinical experience. She draws on a broad background helping people manage anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions. Jamie uses practical methods to help clients make changes and feel steadier in daily life.
Jamie trained with a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and began working in the field in 2012. Early roles included counseling people at a shelter for pregnant and unhoused women and offering school-based services through a YMCA program.
Background and approach
Those settings shaped her focus on real-world problems like substance use, domestic violence, codependency, and youth behavioral concerns. Her approach blends attachment-based ideas with cognitive-behavioral and client-centered practices. She helps people notice how thoughts and behaviors connect, set clear short-term goals, and build more supported ways of relating.
Mindfulness and existential techniques are added when clients want help with meaning, self-worth, or stress management. Jamie also brings experience with trauma, grief, parenting stress, and issues such as ADHD and eating concerns. She has practical training in a variety of topics and continues learning, especially about chronic illness after a recent Type 1 diabetes diagnosis.
Outside of work she enjoys running, rock climbing, and reading, and she is a parent. Her style is straightforward and collaborative, focused on helping people make tangible changes and feel more capable in their relationships and daily routines.

Online support
How attachment work and practical therapies translate to online care
Attachment-based ideas focus on patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape trust and closeness. Online sessions can be a place to notice those patterns, practice new ways of relating, and try different responses in conversation. These techniques often help people who feel stuck in cycles of seeking reassurance or pulling away.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers step-by-step ways to change unhelpful habits. In online sessions a therapist and client can identify specific thoughts to test, set homework, and track progress between meetings. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing exercises that reduce reactivity and improve focus; these are easy to learn and practice during video or audio sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean emphasizing attachment ideas at first, then adding CBT exercises or mindfulness for day-to-day coping.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more visual feedback helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, written reflection, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
