Tamika Hodges, LCSW, LSCSW

Tamika Hodges is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) with six years of practice. She is based in Kansas and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship challenges, and anger.

She frames therapy around the idea that clients know their own stories and brings practical skills to help people make changes. Sessions focus on concrete steps and emotion regulation rather than abstract theory. Tamika uses straightforward talk and skill-building to address what feels most urgent in a person's life.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current reactions. She also uses client-centered methods to keep the client's goals central, and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and elements from dialectical behavior therapy appear when learning to tolerate strong emotions.

Tamika often helps people who struggle with shame, low self-esteem, and patterns that repeat in close relationships. She also works with issues such as addictions, grief, caregiving stress, body image, and career strain. Anger is one of the concerns listed among the issues she addresses.

Conversations in sessions aim to identify triggers, practice new responses, and build daily habits that reduce reactivity. Practical tools might include thought records, grounding exercises, and communication practice. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
