About Regina
Regina Hood is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Mississippi. She brings 18 years of work experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, relationships, grief, and parenting. Regina meets people where they are and focuses on clear, practical steps that fit everyday life.
She believes each person knows their own story and already has strengths to build on. Sessions are collaborative and grounded in what the client wants to change.
Background and approach
Regina aims for straightforward conversations rather than jargon, so parents can walk away with usable ideas they can try right away. Her work includes helping people manage trauma and abuse, depression, anger, sleep problems, and challenges related to ADHD or bipolar conditions. She also supports those dealing with obsessive thoughts, phobias, intimacy concerns, and compassion fatigue.
The approach is adaptable to different concerns and to the rhythm of a client's life. Regina draws from client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches to guide work on thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and relationship habits. She focuses on skills and real-life problem solving alongside validating a client's feelings.
This mix helps translate insights into action. Parents who feel overwhelmed by daily demands often come for short-term coaching and tools they can use between sessions. Regina uses conversation, practical exercises, and focused goal setting so people can make gradual changes.
She encourages small steps that add up over time.

Using client-centered, CBT, and DBT approaches online
Regina uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and following the client's lead. This approach helps people feel heard while they name what they want to change and set personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new ways of thinking and acting. It often involves short exercises and practical homework to change patterns that keep problems going. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. DBT techniques can help with intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and managing impulsive reactions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and daily routines to decide whether client-centered conversation, CBT exercises, DBT skills, or a mix makes the most sense. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as needs change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy parenting life.
