Jessica Hodges

Jessica Hodges is a licensed professional counselor with six years of clinical experience. She uses straightforward, people-focused methods to help with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and coping with life changes. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions.

Jessica shapes conversations around what matters to each person. She listens first, then works with clients to set clear, realistic goals. Sessions often focus on building motivation, improving self-esteem, and developing practical strategies for everyday challenges.

Her approach draws from several evidence-informed methods, but she keeps explanations simple in the room. Clients learn skills to manage strong feelings, reduce unhelpful thoughts, and respond to difficult situations with more clarity. Work may include short exercises, goal-setting, and repeated practice between sessions.

Jessica has experience helping people concerned about body image, attachment issues, communication problems, impulsivity, and control struggles. She also supports those facing social anxiety, relationship stress, and women’s issues. Conversations frequently cover self-love, compassion fatigue, and parenting concerns when those topics come up.

She is credentialed as LPC-MHSP and LPC and practices in Tennessee. Jessica asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire to begin. From there she and the client schedule sessions that fit their needs.

How Jessica’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going, and it often includes simple exercises and homework to practice new skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each client to identify which methods fit their needs and goals. That means trying strategies together, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan if something isn’t working.

The therapist’s biography does not specify which online session formats she uses, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets clients do skill practice and reflection from their usual surroundings, which can help transfer new habits into daily life.
