About Tamika

Tamika Hodges is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker (LSCSW) with six years of clinical experience. She practices in Kansas and lists anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and family-related issues among the matters she addresses. Tamika frames clients as the experts on their lives and focuses on practical steps they can take to manage stress and move forward.

She uses conversational, person-centered sessions to help people identify strengths and set achievable goals. Conversations often include looking at patterns that keep problems going, and practicing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or improve mood. Tamika draws on methods from attachment work and cognitive-behavioral approaches when relevant.

For people in blended households, she will talk through loyalty tensions, shifting routines, and co-parenting stress while focusing on individual coping and clear communication. Sessions also cover grief, addiction concerns, self-esteem, and career-related stress when these come up.

Tamika integrates mindfulness and dialectical skills at times to teach emotion regulation and reduce reactivity. Her style is direct and practical - she helps clients notice what works and what doesn’t, then tries different steps to improve daily functioning.

She conducts work in English and does not accept international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.

How Tamika uses evidence-based approaches online

Tamika often draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships shape expectations and emotional reactions. This approach helps when loyalty conflicts or trust issues come up in blended household situations.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by focusing on what a person does day to day.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Tamika will discuss goals, try methods that fit the client’s situation, and adjust over time based on what helps. Clients set priorities and the therapist suggests techniques that match those priorities.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to schedule around work or parenting responsibilities. Licensed professionals, including Tamika, use approaches that translate to virtual meetings so therapy can continue when in-person visits aren’t practical.
