About Samantha
Samantha Hodges is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strain, career change, addiction, ADHD, trauma and related concerns. Her approach is practical and skill-focused for people who want clearer thinking and calmer reactions.
She uses an array of therapeutic tools to help people notice patterns and change them. Sessions include skill teaching for boundaries, communication, and assertiveness. Cognitive-behavioral methods are used to break unhelpful thoughts and shift responses to triggers. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies are offered to reduce reactivity and build tolerance for difficult feelings.
Samantha also draws on client-centered principles, which means she listens and follows what matters most to each person. She brings direct feedback when needed to keep progress on track. She incorporates ideas from existential and Jungian thought to help people explore meaning, identity, and deeper life questions when those topics come up.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Communication from the University of Kentucky and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the Georgia School of Professional Psychology. Samantha lists additional training in grief work, assertiveness and boundaries, trauma-informed mindful cognitive behavior skills, and SMART recovery tools.
People usually come to her feeling stuck, drained, or frustrated by repeated arguments and snap reactions. She works with adults ready to learn new habits, build practical skills, and change how they respond to anger, stress, and life transitions.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, then committing to actions that match personal values. It can help with persistent anger, anxiety, and motivation to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and teaches concrete skills to reduce reactive responses and improve sleep and mood. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes listening, validation, and following the client's pace while building skills such as assertiveness and boundary setting.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Samantha will collaborate with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. The process is shared and focused on practical steps rather than one fixed method.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when you need them, or remove the need to travel across town. Many people find that skill practice, worksheets, and brief mindfulness exercises transfer well to remote sessions, and therapists can use these tools to support changes in daily life.
