About Tamika

Tamika Hodges is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) practicing in Kansas with six years of experience. She focuses on common problems that make life feel overwhelming, including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship issues, and anger. Tamika works with people who want clearer coping skills and steadier emotional responses.

She begins by listening to what matters most to each person. Tamika treats clients as the expert on their own life and builds on strengths they already have. Sessions use straightforward talk and practical tools rather than jargon or lectures.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and mindfulness practices. That means sessions can include looking at patterns in relationships, practicing new ways of thinking, learning emotional regulation skills, and using mindfulness to calm strong reactions.

Tamika often helps people who face stress from work or family roles, grief, parenting challenges, addiction concerns, or major life changes. She also supports people dealing with identity issues, body image, chronic illness, and caregiver strain. Her work addresses both immediate coping and longer-term patterns that keep problems recurring.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Many of Tamika's methods translate well to remote sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships affect current reactions, helping people notice patterns that fuel anger or anxiety. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration so the person sets the pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for managing temper, worry, and low mood.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Tamika will work with each person to identify goals and try techniques that fit their preferences. That means experimenting with what helps most, reviewing progress, and adjusting strategies together rather than assuming a single path works for everyone.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific formats. Ask about the available session types when you sign up. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people use practices learned in sessions in their everyday routines, which helps carry skills into real life.
