About Jamie
Jamie Hood is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California. She holds a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and brings nine years of clinical experience to her work. Jamie aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people feeling overwhelmed.
Jamie draws on experience from community clinics and school-based programs. She provided individual and group support in a shelter for pregnant and unhoused women and worked in a Medi-Cal funded school counseling program.
How Jamie works
Those roles involved counseling, case coordination, crisis response, and working with school staff and community agencies. In sessions she uses clear, goal-focused methods. Jamie often looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and helps people challenge unhelpful thinking patterns.
She also focuses on present-moment goals to move people toward tangible change. Jamie integrates attachment ideas and mindfulness practices to improve relationships with self and others. She also draws on existential approaches to help people find meaning when life feels uncertain.
Her work addresses stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, low self-esteem, addiction, trauma and grief, eating and intimacy issues, anger, career and life transitions, depression, ADHD, and related areas. Jamie describes ongoing learning as central to her practice. She manages her own health with a Type 1 diabetes diagnosis and uses that experience to inform work around chronic illness.
Outside of therapy she enjoys running, rock climbing, and family time with her children.

Online support options
Online approaches that support relationships and daily coping
Jamie often uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connection patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses. This approach helps people understand trust, closeness, and ways of reacting to conflict, especially when relationship worries are central.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions. That style is helpful for building self-esteem and feeling heard during stressful life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jamie collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts the plan as progress and circumstances evolve.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation; phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer no camera. Live chat and texting are useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue consistent work over time.
