About Jessica
Jessica Hodges is a licensed social worker with ten years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and life transitions. She presents a calm, straightforward approach so parents and individuals can explain what’s happening and get practical next steps.
Jessica is a KS LSCSW - Licensed Specialist Clinical Social Worker - and she focuses on clear, helpful conversations rather than jargon. She uses ways of working that center relationships and present-day problems.
Background and approach
Sessions often begin by identifying what feels most urgent and what small steps might reduce distress. Jessica listens for patterns in how someone connects with others and how that affects mood and choices. Her tools include talking through thoughts and behaviors, building skills for emotion regulation, and exploring how past attachments shape current relationships.
These methods can help with anxiety, parenting stress, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, and difficulties with intimacy or communication. Jessica has worked with people from diverse backgrounds and brings a nonjudgmental attitude to sensitive topics such as trauma, adoption and foster care experiences, kink and alternative sex culture, and caregiver burnout.
She aims to make therapy feel useful and reachable, breaking larger goals into manageable steps. People who prefer a collaborative style - where the therapist listens and adjusts techniques to fit personal goals - may find her manner a good fit. She offers sessions in English and provides video, phone, chat, and text-based options to match different needs.
How her approaches fit online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and emotional reactions; online sessions can help people notice patterns in relationships and practice new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to each person's goals, making sessions feel led by the client's concerns and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, needs, and comfort with different methods. That might mean blending relationship-focused exploration with practical CBT skills and emotion regulation exercises from DBT when helpful.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people work visually through relationship dynamics, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging support brief check-ins, coaching, or between-session work. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting appointments into school, work, or caregiving routines.
