Jessica Hodges

Jessica Hodges is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges around addiction. She uses straightforward, respectful conversation to help clients build confidence and motivation. Jessica holds the LPC-MHSP and LPC credentials and brings six years of professional experience to her practice in Tennessee.

She shapes each session around the person in front of her rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions often center on building practical skills for coping with worry, improving self-esteem, and handling life changes. Jessica pays attention to how attachment and communication patterns affect daily relationships and self-image.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. Jessica blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools to help people notice thoughts, choose valued actions, and manage strong emotions. She also uses client-centered and attachment-based ideas to make space for personal storytelling and repair of relational wounds.

Parents and people dealing with LGBT concerns may find her supportive style helpful for navigating stress and changing family dynamics. She also addresses compassion fatigue and women’s issues with care and practical strategies. Body image and control issues are worked on with clear exercises and talk that connect feelings to behavior.

Therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire and a conversation about goals. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match what matters most. It can help with anxiety, low motivation, and making steady changes in daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to see what helps, which is useful for stress, depression, and social anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up now and aims to improve communication and self-understanding in close relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. Progress is reviewed together so strategies can be adjusted if something isn’t working.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting of sessions into busy schedules and fewer demands for travel. Online work may also make it simpler to use written exercises, worksheets, and in-the-moment skills practice between sessions. Because session formats are not listed here, confirm current online options before booking so you know what to expect and can plan sessions that fit your routine.
