About Tamika
Tamika Hodges is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people work through anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship stress. She holds LCSW and LSCSW credentials and brings six years of experience to her practice in Kansas. She frames therapy around each person's story and builds on strengths they already have.
Tamika listens first and asks practical questions about what feels stuck. She helps people name patterns, understand difficult reactions, and try small changes that can make daily life easier.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and focused on real problems people face at home, work, and in relationships. Her approach blends conversational work with tools for coping and problem solving. She uses narrative ideas to help people reframe painful memories and see alternate paths forward.
She also draws on attachment-informed ideas to clarify how early relationships shape current patterns. Tamika includes cognitive-behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and dialectical skills to manage intense emotions. The tone is calm and practical - clients can expect guidance, feedback, and homework tailored to their goals.
She also works with issues around identity, grief, and life transitions. People who do best with her are ready to talk about their story and try concrete steps between sessions. She helps parents handle parenting stress, supports people coping with chronic illness, and addresses concerns like addiction, body image, and career strain.
Her work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Online session options
Approaches that guide online work and support
Tamika often draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at life events as chapters and helps people spot alternative meanings that reduce shame and open new options. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to identify how early relationships shape current responses and to build safer ways of relating in adult life. Client-Centered Therapy keeps the focus on the person’s experience, using listening, reflection, and validation to help clients feel heard and understood.Choosing the right approach happens together. She will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Then she will suggest ways forward and adjust methods as work unfolds, so treatment stays practical and relevant to the client’s needs.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video calls let people work face to face when they want visual contact. Phone sessions can be quieter and need less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family, or health routines.
