Regina Hood

Regina Hood is a licensed professional counselor with an emphasis on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationships, and anger. She holds an MS, is an LPC, and is licensed as an LCMHC in Mississippi. Regina frames therapy around each person's strengths and goals. She speaks English and accepts international clients.

Regina believes the person in therapy knows their story best. She uses that viewpoint to build practical steps for change. Sessions are focused on clear goals, skill building, and real-life problem solving rather than vague theory.

Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize empathy and respect for each person's experience. Regina also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns of thought and behavior and try different approaches. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are added when clients need tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Across 18 years of practice, Regina has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, depression, grief, sleep struggles, parenting stress, ADHD-related concerns, obsessions and compulsions, and phobias. She also helps when life changes create uncertainty or overwhelm.

Regina aims to make beginning therapy straightforward. She invites people to take small steps, set one changeable goal, and test new habits between sessions. Her manner is direct and compassionate, focused on practical progress rather than quick fixes.

How Regina’s Approaches Work Online

Regina draws on client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online work. Client-centered therapy centers on listening and building on the person’s own strengths; sessions focus on understanding concerns and setting meaningful goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when people need concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. DBT skills include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that can be practiced between sessions to create steady change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Regina will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process includes testing strategies and adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people use therapeutic tools between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and DBT exercises for remote sessions so skills practice remains practical and relevant.
