About Jessica
Jessica Hodges is a Kansas-licensed social worker, LSCSW, with 10 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, addictions, anger, and related issues. Jessica uses straightforward conversation to make it easier to bring up difficult feelings and reactions.
Her approach centers on building trust and listening to what matters most to each person. She draws on client-centered methods to follow a person's lead, and uses evidence-based skills from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior. Dialectical behavior therapy tools may be used to manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive reactions.
Jessica also integrates attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current responses. Motivational interviewing is part of her toolbox when people want to change habits or resolve internal conflict. These methods are used together to create practical steps, not abstract theory.
Sessions focus on clear goals such as reducing outbursts, handling workplace frustration, repairing strained relationships, or improving sleep and coping. Jessica works on skill building and problem solving in ordinary language, with short exercises and homework when that fits the client's goals.
She practices in Kansas and provides services in English. If you are ready to begin, follow the site's process to match and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How Jessica’s approaches translate to online work
Jessica uses client-centered therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to the person. That approach helps people feel understood and decide which problems to tackle first. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thought and behavior patterns that keep anger and anxiety active and replaces them with practical alternatives.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, whether that means learning concrete coping skills, improving communication, or addressing past attachment wounds. She checks in regularly to adapt methods as needs change.
The therapist’s biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some people prefer a camera session for visual cues, while others choose audio or shorter meetings when schedules are tight. The focus is on practical ways to make therapy fit daily life rather than on a single format.
