About Tamika

Tamika Hodges is a licensed clinical social worker who practices in Kansas. She brings six years of experience helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship concerns. Tamika centers her work on each person's strengths and choices. She encourages clients to take small, steady steps toward the changes they want.

Her approach is direct and collaborative. Tamika uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present patterns. She also draws on Client-Centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Sessions focus on clear, practical goals. Tamika helps people build skills for managing stress, mood, and overwhelming emotions. When trauma or life transitions come up, she works with clients to pace the process and reduce reactivity.

She lists a wide range of concerns she addresses, including addictions, grief, parenting strain, eating and body image issues, and identity topics such as LGBT-related concerns. Additional focuses include attachment issues, abandonment, adoption and foster care, and caregiver stress.

Tamika holds the LCSW and the LSCSW, licensed in North Carolina and Kansas. Sessions are conducted in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Tamika draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This approach helps people understand why they may respond strongly in close relationships and offers ways to try new interactions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change thought and behavior patterns that feed anxiety or low mood; CBT focuses on practical steps that people can practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tamika will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor methods together. That way clients know what to expect and can steer the pace and focus of sessions.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include easier scheduling, reduced travel time, and simpler ways to fit sessions into a busy day. If you are interested in virtual options, confirm the current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to practice skills in daily life and to check in more consistently while maintaining therapy routines.
