About Carol Wood

Carol Wood brings 29 years of clinical experience as an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - working with individuals, couples, and families who face stress, anxiety, grief, loss, relationship strain, and life transitions. She approaches care with both practical strategies and an attunement to deeper needs, blending Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices to help clients find relief and develop new coping skills.

As a Reiki Master Teacher, she also incorporates energy-based awareness when clients request that focus, and she often provides homework for those who prefer additional structured work between sessions. Her background includes 18 years with TWA in customer service on both the east and west coasts, an experience that shaped her understanding of how people respond under stress and how to create solutions that restore a sense of control.

Carol has served on the board of Project Touch in Hermosa Beach and on the board of California Marriage and Family Therapists South Bay/Long Beach. She has been under contract with South Bay Youth Project and Beach Cities Health District, providing therapy to individuals, couples, and families for decades. Based in California, she cares deeply about people and finds professional fulfillment in guiding others toward greater well-being.

One major benefit is flexibility. People can connect with a therapist in the way that suits them best - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule.

Licensed professionals provide online services, and if someone feels a different fit would help, they can switch therapists at any time. For many, virtual therapy offers an accessible, effective option for working through everyday challenges and building new skills.
