Tamika Hodges, LCSW, LSCSW

Tamika Hodges is a licensed social worker who offers compassionate care for people navigating emotional struggles. She holds LCSW and LSCSW credentials and brings six years of practice to her work in Kansas. Tamika focuses on helping individuals manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and trauma and abuse. Her approach treats each person as the expert in their own life. She listens for strengths and helps clients build on what already works. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical so people can try small changes between meetings. Tamika uses a mix of methods to match each person’s needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also uses client-centered work to keep the conversation focused on the client’s priorities. Cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness are part of her toolkit for managing difficult thoughts and strong emotions. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used when people need tools for distress tolerance and emotion regulation. These approaches are combined in ways that fit the person sitting in the room. People come to Tamika for a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including grief, addictions, body image, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to adoption or caregiving. She supports people working through life changes and complicated histories so they can move toward clearer goals. To begin, visitors are asked to use the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule. That process helps connect practical needs and timing with the therapeutic style Tamika offers.

How Tamika’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can use this to identify connection patterns and try new ways of relating in daily life. Client-centered therapy keeps the conversation on what matters most to the person. In an online setting this means the therapist follows the client’s lead and adapts pace and focus to immediate concerns.

Tamika views picking an approach as a collaborative process. She will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and then shape the work together. That way the plan fits the person's life, not a one-size-fits-all model.

If you want online sessions, please confirm the specific session options before booking. The site Start Therapy flow will collect scheduling needs and help match you. Many people find online options help fit therapy into work or caregiving routines, make it easier to attend from different locations, and allow flexible check-ins when a shorter meeting is useful. These practical benefits can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent while working on stress, trauma and abuse recovery, emotion regulation, or relationship patterns.
