About Tamika

Tamika Hodges is a licensed clinical social worker with six years of practice. She works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship concerns. Tamika emphasizes a respectful, strengths-based approach and sees people as the experts in their own stories.

She helps people name what feels hard and then breaks issues into manageable steps. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer thinking to reduce distress. Tamika aims to support clients through life changes and difficult moments rather than promise quick fixes.

Tamika uses several evidence-informed approaches to guide the work. She draws on attachment-based ideas to understand patterns in close relationships and client-centered listening to follow the person’s lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when helpful to change unhelpful thoughts and build emotion regulation tools.

Her practice also addresses concerns such as addiction, grief, parenting strain, body image, caregiver stress, and issues related to adoption and aging. People who want straightforward feedback and hands-on strategies tend to do well with her style.

Tamika holds LCSW and LSCSW credentials and practices in Kansas. She communicates in English and does not take international clients. To begin, readers are encouraged to confirm current session options before scheduling.

How Tamika's approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work looks at how past relationship patterns affect current connections, helping people notice repeating cycles and try new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and following the client's pace, making space for whatever feels most important right now. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches straightforward tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Tamika will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they check what’s working and adjust the plan as progress or challenges appear.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules require, and reduce travel time so people can focus on coping skills and goals. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment, client-centered listening, and CBT techniques to remote sessions while helping clients manage life changes and relationship concerns.
