About Tamika
Tamika Hodges is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage anxiety and other difficult emotions. She holds LCSW and LSCSW credentials and practices in Kansas. Her style is collaborative and direct, with a focus on practical steps people can use day to day.
She centers sessions on each person's story and strengths. Tamika treats stress, depression, trauma and relationship concerns by listening first and then building simple coping tools together.
Background and approach
She aims to make therapy feel doable, not overwhelming, for people juggling busy lives. Her approach often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.
Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy appear when clients need grounding and emotion regulation strategies. With six years of clinical experience, Tamika works with a wide range of concerns including addictions, grief, body image, caregiver stress, and career-related strain. She supports LGBT concerns, parenting stress, and challenges tied to chronic illness and disability.
Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that works for the client. Tamika focuses on clear, practical steps so progress is visible and steady.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns. In brief online sessions this approach helps people notice recurring ways they connect or pull away and then try different responses in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing exercises that reduce reactivity and help with grounding during intense moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, past efforts, and personal preferences to choose methods that fit. Clients and the therapist review what works and adjust strategies together so therapy stays collaborative and goal oriented.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises, while phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and flexibility for people who need brief support during a busy day. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health routines.
