About Samantha
Samantha Hodges is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Georgia who helps adults manage stress and anxiety. She offers practical guidance for people feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or tired of coping alone. Samantha writes and speaks plainly so parents and busy adults can understand next steps quickly.
Samantha uses a blend of approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and on acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and build action.
Background and approach
Client-centered work and mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to support calm and self-awareness. 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.
She has eight years of counseling experience and additional training in grief work, assertiveness and boundaries, and trauma-informed mindful cognitive behavior techniques. Samantha often helps people strengthen self-esteem, manage ADHD-related struggles, navigate job or role changes, and cope with relationship stress or addictions. She can also support those facing burnout, compassion fatigue, or the long shadow of past trauma.
In sessions she balances warmth with practical coaching. The aim is to build useful skills, increase emotional clarity, and make intentional changes that feel real. Samantha works collaboratively and offers direct feedback when it helps clients stay focused on their goals.
Therapeutic approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, steady actions toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when anxiety or life changes make it hard to move forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change patterns that maintain stress or low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and collaboration so clients feel understood while they decide what changes to make.Choosing the right approach is a partnership. Samantha will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they adjust methods over time so therapy stays useful and focused on real-life change.
Online sessions offer flexibility for different needs. Video calls let therapists observe body language and deepen conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support quick check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing coaching between fuller sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy week and try different ways of connecting to see what helps most.
