Regina Hood, LPC, LCMHC - Therapist in Mississippi

About Regina

Regina Hood is a licensed counselor who uses a client-centered approach to help people facing stress and anxiety. She leans on practical, evidence-based tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Regina speaks plainly and focuses on clear steps that parents and families can understand.

She works from Mississippi and brings 18 years of professional experience to sessions. Regina helps with relationship and family tensions, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues with sleep and intimacy.

Background and approach

She also addresses anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and obsessive or phobic patterns. Her work aims to make everyday life feel more manageable and less overwhelming. In sessions she starts by listening and learning what matters most to each person.

She prioritizes simple strategies that fit family life, like coping skills, communication changes, and routines that support better sleep and mood. Regina mixes validation with clear small goals so progress feels achievable. Her background includes a Master of Science and licenses as a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC and as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - LCMHC.

Those credentials reflect training in clinical counseling and ongoing practice in the field. Regina believes change begins with one step. She offers straightforward support and practical tools for parents and adults navigating family and life transitions.

The emphasis is on steady, realistic improvements rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches translate to online care

Regina uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's priorities, helping people name goals and use their strengths. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and ease mood symptoms.

She may also draw on dialectical behavior therapy tools for emotion regulation and coping skills when strong feelings or relationship stress come up. DBT offers concrete strategies for managing intense emotions and improving communication, which can be helpful for parents and adults juggling family demands.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Regina will discuss options and tailor methods to a person's needs, goals, and preferences so the plan fits daily life. That collaboration helps make therapy useful and sustainable.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit appointments around busy family schedules, to check in between meetings, and to continue work during life transitions. The range of options supports consistent progress while accommodating practical constraints.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
