About Regina
Regina Hood is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Mississippi with 18 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. Regina also works with depression, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep difficulties, anger, self-esteem, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and related issues such as obsessions, compulsions, and phobias.
She uses straightforward conversation and active listening to help people sort through what feels overwhelming. Sessions look at patterns of thought and behavior, and offer skills to manage emotions and daily challenges. Regina leans on client-centered principles so the person’s priorities guide the work.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice addressing trauma, grief, and family stress. She combines client-centered methods with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change coping habits. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance when needed.
In practical terms she helps people build routines for better sleep, communication habits for strained relationships, and step-by-step plans for parenting stress. Regina aims to teach concrete skills that can be used between sessions. She frames problems as manageable parts rather than overwhelming wholes.
People who come for help often want a clear, steady way to reduce anxiety, handle family conflict, or find better balance. To start, she asks about current struggles and what the person hopes to change, then chooses approaches that match those goals.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. In practice this means the therapist asks about priorities and adjusts the conversation to what matters most. It helps when someone feels unsure about where to start.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It includes practical exercises and homework to change unhelpful thinking and build coping habits. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, supplies concrete skills for regulating emotion and handling high-stress moments. Skills include grounding, emotion labeling, and tolerating distress without making things worse. These skills pair well with work on family conflict and parenting stress.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try a method, and adjust based on how it feels and what helps. People are invited to give feedback so the plan changes when needed.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy day and keeping momentum between appointments. Because the profile did not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule short check-ins, practice skills between sessions, or meet without travel, depending on the session types offered by the therapist.
