Tamika Hodges , LCSW, LSCSW

Tamika Hodges is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Kansas. She brings six years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship struggles. Tamika approaches work with respect for each person's story and practical steps toward change.

She uses straightforward conversation and active listening to identify what feels most pressing. Sessions focus on real-life coping skills and small, achievable goals. Tamika emphasizes strengths people already have and builds on them over time.

Tamika draws on several therapy approaches to match the client's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections affect current relationships and patterns.

She also incorporates Client-Centered Therapy to keep the sessions focused on the client's priorities, and Mindfulness Therapy to teach attention and stress reduction techniques. These methods are blended into clear, practical strategies rather than abstract theory.

People often seek support for stress, self-esteem, grief, parenting strain, or compassion fatigue, and Tamika works with those concerns in individual sessions. Her background includes work with addiction, LGBT issues, eating concerns, and complex life transitions.

Sessions are offered in English and take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Tamika asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they show up now. It helps people understand why they react a certain way in close relationships and learn new ways to connect and set boundaries.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It gives concrete tools for shifting unhelpful thinking and building healthier habits, which can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client will talk about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Tamika aims to tailor the mix of techniques to each person's needs and preferences rather than using a single fixed method.

Online sessions make regular work on issues easier to fit into daily life. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are handy when bandwidth is limited or camera use is not desired. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or times when typing feels more comfortable. These options help people keep continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
