About Jessica
Jessica Hodges is a Kansas-licensed clinical social worker (LSCSW) with 10 years of professional experience. She helps adults who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship tension, parenting challenges, trauma, depression, and other life changes. Sessions are offered in English and aimed at people seeking practical support rather than labels or quick fixes.
Her approach is straightforward and conversational. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters to the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used to identify unhelpful patterns and build concrete coping strategies.
Jessica also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect present reactions. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit when someone needs help deciding on next steps or making lifestyle changes. These methods are used to address a wide range of concerns, including blended family issues and communication problems.
In practice she focuses on clear goals and small steps. Sessions typically include talking through current problems, practicing new ways of responding, and planning experiments to try between meetings. She describes therapy as a place to speak honestly about fears such as abandonment, commitment worries, or caregiver stress.
People seeking help are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions operate on a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that formed in early relationships and how those patterns show up now. Online sessions can help a person notice those reactions and practice different ways of responding to partners or household members. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. In an online visit this often means the therapist helps clarify priorities and supports the client in setting steps they feel able to try. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and tests them against real-world evidence to reduce anxiety or depression. Online CBT sessions typically include simple exercises and homework to try between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend which methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets people practice new communication skills in the settings where the problems occur, which can help transfer gains into everyday life.
