Tamika Hodges, LCSW, LSCSW

Tamika Hodges is a licensed clinical social worker with six years of experience helping people navigate hard emotional challenges. She holds LCSW and LSCSW credentials and practices in Kansas. Tamika focuses on practical steps that make everyday life feel more manageable. Her approach treats each person as the expert on their own life. She listens for strengths and builds on them. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small changes that add up over time. Tamika works with concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship issues, and stress. She also supports people facing grief, caregiving strain, chronic illness or pain, and identity-related concerns including LGBT issues. She uses a mix of approaches to match individual needs. That can include attachment-based work to look at relationship patterns, client-centered conversations that follow the person’s pace, and cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. In sessions she aims to be direct but warm. Conversations focus on what is troubling someone now, concrete coping skills, and ways to test new behaviors between meetings. Progress is tracked in simple terms so people can see what’s changing. To start, people use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is then arranged based on therapist availability and location. Tamika conducts work in English and does not accept international clients.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Attachment-based work looks at how early patterns influence current relationships. It helps people understand why they react certain ways with partners or close friends and supports building different habits over time. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches clear skills for changing unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining attachment-focused discussion with CBT techniques or using client-centered conversation to guide which skills to try next.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm session types before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, make scheduling easier around work or caregiving, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits someone’s day. Online sessions also make it possible to practice skills in the environments where challenges actually happen. Ask about which session formats are offered so you can choose what works best for your routine.
