Carol Wood, LMFT

Carol Wood brings a warm, steady presence to therapy and a practical, skills-based approach to helping people move through pain, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and times of uncertainty. As an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she blends clinical training with complementary practices to address emotional and relational concerns. She also holds training as a Reiki Master Teacher, which she integrates when appropriate to tune into clients' needs on multiple levels. Carol emphasizes mindfulness and often offers homework for clients who want tools to practice between sessions.

Her background includes eighteen years with TWA in customer service on both the east and west coasts, experience that deepened her understanding of how different people respond to stress and how practical problem solving can restore a sense of control. Over decades she has provided therapy to individuals, couples, and families under contract with organizations such as South Bay Youth Project and Beach Cities Health District. She has served on the board of directors for Project Touch in Hermosa Beach and California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists South Bay/Long Beach. With nearly three decades of professional experience, Carol focuses on a wide range of concerns - from anxiety, depression, and trauma to relationship, family, and intimacy issues - and she approaches each person with care and a commitment to helping them find relief and renewed direction.
