About Samantha
Samantha Hodges is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, anger, relationship strains, career concerns, ADHD, addictions, depression, trauma and abuse, and related challenges.
Samantha uses straightforward, skills-focused work to help people gain clarity and practical coping tools. Sessions often include learning better communication, building boundaries, and practicing strategies to manage strong emotions. She also supports clients dealing with sleep problems, compassion fatigue, and life transitions.
Her educational 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. Those studies inform a blend of therapeutic styles she draws on in practice.
Samantha integrates approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential ideas, and Jungian concepts when they fit the client’s goals. She may include skill-based work like assertiveness, grief support, and conflict resolution to address everyday problems that drive anger and frustration.
She describes her style as collaborative and direct when needed, aiming to help people increase self-awareness and build durable coping skills. Samantha supports adults who want more than short-term relief and who are ready to practice new ways of thinking and behaving.
Clients who choose to work with her complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to begin practical, step-by-step work on the issues that matter most to them.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and on taking actions that match personal values. It can be useful for anger that comes from avoidance, rumination, or feeling stuck. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building understanding so the person can explore choices and develop greater self-awareness. This approach helps when frustration grows from unclear boundaries or repeated relational patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. CBT is often used for managing outbursts, workplace stress, and sleep problems that worsen irritability. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. Decisions are revisited as progress is made, and techniques are adjusted as needed. Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow focused check-ins during a lunch break or when time is limited. Phone sessions may be a lower-bandwidth option and video sessions allow face-to-face interaction; check which formats are offered and choose what suits your routine and comfort level.Areas of expertise
