About Tamika
Tamika Hodges is a licensed clinical social worker who practices in Kansas. She brings six years of experience helping people who feel stuck by anxiety, depression, trauma, or difficult life changes. Tamika aims to meet people where they are and build on their existing strengths.
She begins by listening to each person’s story and spotting practical next steps. Sessions focus on real-life problems like stress, relationship struggles, grief, parenting strain, or workplace pressure.
Background and approach
Tamika also supports those facing addictions, body image issues, and challenges related to identity and sexual expression. Her way of working is collaborative and direct. She uses conversational techniques to clarify patterns and teach coping skills.
Clients learn tools they can try between sessions to manage mood shifts, reduce anxiety, and handle conflict more calmly. Tamika draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centered care, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness practices. These help with understanding how past experiences shape current reactions and with building new habits that feel more helpful.
She holds an LCSW, which is a licensed clinical social worker, and the LSCSW credential. Her practice is in Kansas and she conducts sessions in English. Tamika’s style suits people who want practical tools and an empathetic, straightforward guide through change.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Tamika uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and changing daily habits that keep problems going. Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early experiences influence current trust and safety with others. This approach can help with relationship struggles, grief, and attachment concerns.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest strategies to try. They adjust methods over time so the plan fits the client’s needs and how they prefer to work.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexible access. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and teaching skills, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging lets people check in between meetings or use shorter, text-based support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into workdays, caregiving schedules, or travel plans while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
