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 works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, issues around intimacy, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and adjusting to life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
Regina uses straightforward, person-centered ways of working. She treats the person as the authority on their own life and looks for strengths already in place. Conversations focus on practical steps people can try between sessions, and on noticing patterns that keep problems like anger and anxiety active.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Client-Centered Therapy informs how she listens and helps people choose goals that matter to them.
Regina frames anger as a signal about unmet needs or boundaries rather than a personal failing. She helps people learn clearer ways to express frustration and to reduce recurring outbursts. Work may include learning calming strategies, role-playing conversations, and planning steps to prevent escalation.
Practical logistics vary by location and plan. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled. Regina aims for clear, usable tools clients can apply in daily life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting clients to set their own goals. In practice this means sessions begin by asking what matters most and building work around those priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions interact. Online sessions can include identifying unhelpful thinking, setting small behavioral experiments, and reviewing results between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication. These skills translate into short exercises and role-plays that can be practiced during or between online sessions to manage anger and intense feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. Sessions adapt as progress and needs change so clients try different strategies and see what helps.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - shorter check-ins, avoiding travel time, or fitting a session into a break at work are common benefits. Licensed professionals can guide how to practice new skills between meetings and keep momentum even when schedules are tight.
