Background and approach

The work often starts with identifying the most pressing problem and small steps to try between sessions. Dr. Hodges uses proven methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy.

She helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new skills, and choose actions that match their values. Sessions also draw on client-centered principles to keep the conversation focused on each person’s needs. For emotional regulation and impulsive behaviors, she can integrate techniques from dialectical behavior therapy.

She also brings existential ideas when people are questioning life purpose or feeling empty, helping them name values and make deliberate choices. In practical terms, Dr. Hodges works with people on communication, family of origin patterns, caregiver stress, body image, guilt or shame, jealousy, and forgiveness.

She supports those navigating infidelity, control issues, or midlife shifts through step-by-step planning and skill-building. Beginning therapy is a collaborative process. Dr.

Hodges helps each person set clear goals and adjusts the approach as needed, so the work fits the client’s life and priorities.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Dr. Hodges commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people notice difficult feelings, clarify what matters to them, and take committed action toward those values.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. She works together with clients to decide which methods fit best based on their goals, preferences, and the problems they bring. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs shift.

Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier and to match communication styles. These formats let clients practice skills, check in between meetings, and keep therapy consistent when life gets busy or travel is required. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for each format so the work stays practical and focused.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
