Jessica Hodges, LSCSW

Jessica Hodges is a Kansas-based licensed clinical social worker (LSCSW) with ten years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and mood concerns. Jessica aims to make the first step toward therapy feel manageable and respectful. She creates an open space where people can talk about hard things without fear of judgment.

Her approach blends practical tools with an emphasis on connection. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and follow each person’s goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are used to teach concrete skills for managing emotions and changing unhelpful patterns.

Jessica also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape present struggles. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and stay motivated in hard moments. These methods are chosen to match the person and their situation, not applied automatically.

She has worked across a range of concerns, including grief, addictions, body image, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Jessica supports people dealing with adoption and foster care issues, attachment struggles, blended family dynamics, and communication problems. Her background includes helping those coping with divorce, domestic violence, and co-occurring conditions.

Jessica invites prospective clients to take a small step: complete the intake steps and schedule a session. She focuses on practical next steps, clearer choices, and building coping skills that fit everyday life.

Approaches that shape online work

Jessica uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize what matters to each person, listening closely and shaping sessions around their goals. This approach helps when people need a respectful space to clarify feelings and decide next steps.

She also blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into the work to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day worries where changing patterns can bring relief.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adjust methods as the work progresses. Clients and the therapist decide together which tools to try and when to shift course.

The practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy schedule and making it easier to keep regular appointments. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it simpler to maintain steady momentum, practice skills between meetings, and fit therapy into everyday life without large travel time.
