About Camilla
Camilla Ford is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting pressures, addiction, trauma and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Her background includes work in day treatment programs, schools, hospitals, and private practice. She graduated from Stanford and holds a master’s degree in psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies. That mix of settings gives her a broad view of how problems show up in daily life.
Camilla uses a humanistic, person-centered approach that focuses on a person’s strengths. She listens, reflects, and helps people notice what is working so they can build on it. Her style draws on ideas from Carl Rogers, Virginia Satir, and Murray Bowen to support clearer communication and healthier patterns.
In sessions she takes a collaborative stance. She and the client identify practical steps, try different ways of relating, and check what actually helps over time. Work can include talking through relationship patterns, practicing different responses to anger, or sorting priorities when life feels overwhelming.
People looking for help with intimacy issues, sleep or eating concerns, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, career stress, or compassion fatigue will find these topics within her scope. Her approach aims to clarify goals and develop steady habits rather than quick fixes. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Camilla draws on humanistic and systemic ideas in her practice. Person-centered work means she listens closely and reflects what a person is experiencing so they can notice options and make different choices. This approach helps when someone wants to manage anger, build better communication, or regain emotional balance. She also uses family-systems ideas inspired by Bowen and Satir to look at patterns between people. That work involves mapping relationship dynamics and trying small changes to see how the pattern shifts. It can be useful for couples or individuals who want to stop repeated fights or reduce built-up resentment. Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. The plan can change as progress is reviewed together. Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Phone calls can work when video would be difficult, while video lets the therapist and client read facial expressions and practice interpersonal skills. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to fit everyday life rather than aiming for rapid fixes.Areas of expertise
