About Tamika

Tamika Hodges is a licensed clinical social worker with six years of experience. She holds LCSW and LSCSW credentials and practices in Kansas. She focuses on concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationships, parenting, and stress.

Tamika frames therapy around the person's own experience. She treats people as the experts on their lives and uses their strengths when addressing problems. Sessions are practical and direct, aimed at reducing overwhelm and improving day-to-day coping.

Her background includes approaches that focus on how people connect with others and how thoughts affect feelings and actions. Tamika uses techniques to notice patterns in relationships, to challenge unhelpful thinking, and to build skills for managing intense emotions. She also integrates mindfulness practices to help with grounding during stressful moments.

She often helps people who are dealing with life transitions, grief, addiction, or caregiving stress. Other areas she works with include self-esteem, body image, and issues related to adoption and attachment. Tamika also addresses concerns linked to chronic illness, aging, and co-occurring conditions.

People who choose her typically want clear steps to try between sessions. Her style favors concrete tools, short-term skill building, and checking progress as therapy continues. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking and follow the practice's intake steps to schedule a first appointment.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at patterns in how people relate to others. It helps people notice repeated relationship themes and try new ways of connecting that feel safer and more effective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tamika will help you decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and can shift as needs change over time. Confirm current session formats before booking so you know which options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use mindfulness practices and skills work between sessions to reinforce progress. Ask about session length and scheduling during the intake so you can pick arrangements that suit your day-to-day life.
