About Camilla
Camilla Ford welcomes parents and individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about next steps. She speaks plainly and listens closely so people can name what matters most. Her style is warm and steady, aimed at helping clients find practical ways to cope and move forward.
Camilla is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 25 years of experience based in California. She earned a master's degree in psychology and has worked in day treatment programs, schools, hospitals, and independent practice.
Background and approach
She offers supportive, goal-focused conversations rather than a one-size-fits-all script. In sessions she focuses on strengths and real-life problem solving. She uses a humanistic, person-centered stance that centers the client's own goals.
Therapy is collaborative - she helps people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and adjust plans when needed. Her experience includes a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strain, addiction, trauma and abuse, mood disorders, eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career questions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.
She adapts her approach to each person's needs and pace. Camilla offers meetings in English and Spanish. Sessions can be scheduled by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire.
From there clients set times based on the therapist's schedule and the subscription model used for sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Humanistic and person-centered work focuses on understanding you as a whole person. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps you name goals. This style is useful for people who want a collaborative, empathetic space to sort out feelings and priorities.Practical, goal-oriented techniques are used alongside the humanistic stance to help people try new behaviors and manage symptoms. These methods focus on small, achievable changes for stress, anxiety, mood concerns, ADHD-related challenges, sleep, and daily functioning.
Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work with each client to identify priorities, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative planning makes it easier to focus on realistic steps and measure progress together.
Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversations and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging work for brief check-ins, homework, or quick support between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent with a busy life.
