About Tamika

Tamika Hodges is a licensed social worker who offers therapy rooted in respect and practical support. She holds LCSW and LSCSW credentials and brings six years of clinical experience. Tamika focuses on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, stress, and parenting challenges.

Her approach is straightforward and centered on helping people take small, manageable steps toward relief and clearer choices. She starts by listening to each person’s story and noticing strengths they already have.

Background and approach

Tamika uses techniques drawn from attachment-focused work and cognitive behavioral methods to help people understand patterns and change unhelpful habits. She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness approaches to slow things down and build coping skills. Tamika works with people facing grief, addiction, body image, career stress, compassion fatigue, and complex life transitions.

She also supports concerns like adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and attachment difficulties. Her practice includes attention to identity-related matters such as LGBT concerns and relationship struggles. Sessions emphasize practical tools and real-world application.

Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space where goals are set together. Tamika helps translate insights into steps that fit daily life and parenting demands. She provides services from Kansas and uses a mix of video, phone, live chat, and text messaging to meet different needs.

Sessions follow a subscription model that may be canceled at any time.

How Tamika’s approaches translate to online therapy

Tamika uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps people understand why certain reactions show up in stress, parenting, or relationship moments and supports new ways of connecting. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tamika collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. She adjusts techniques over time so sessions stay relevant and practical for parenting schedules and changing needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, maintain continuity during transitions, and practice skills between meetings. The range of formats lets people pick what feels most comfortable while still working with a licensed professional to build coping tools and move toward clearer next steps.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
