About Jessica

Jessica Hodges is a licensed social worker who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, and life changes. She brings a calm presence and practical support to conversations about relationships, trauma, parenting, mood concerns, and attention-related struggles like ADHD. She aims to make the first steps into therapy feel straightforward.

Sessions are a place to talk through worries, sort priorities, and build small routines that make daily life easier. Jessica values plain language and clear planning over jargon or long lectures.

Background and approach

Her background includes ten years of professional experience working with people from diverse backgrounds and with complex challenges. That work has included concerns such as grief, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, and caregiver stress. Her stated focuses also include attachment issues, adoption and foster care, and body image struggles.

Jessica draws on approaches that help people learn new skills and make small changes that add up. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns that keep problems going, Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns. Clients can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth style that emphasizes practical steps and real-life coping.

Jessica encourages people to set goals together and adjust strategies as needed. She works from Kansas as a licensed social worker (LSCSW) and conducts sessions in English.

Approaches for online care and making change

Attachment-Based Therapy helps people see how early relationships shape current responses. It is useful for understanding trust, closeness, and recurring patterns that affect relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on breaking unhelpful thinking and behavior cycles by testing small experiments and building new habits. It often helps with anxiety, low mood, and attention-related struggles. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and handling stress without making things worse.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will talk with each person about goals, what has helped before, and what feels realistic. Together they will try methods that fit the situation and adjust the plan if something isn’t working. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to real-life needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option or a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick updates, coaching between sessions, and making it easier to fit support into a workday or caregiving routine. These options let people get consistent support without extra travel or time lost to appointments.
