About Jessica

Jessica Hodges is a KS LSCSW - a licensed clinical social worker in Kansas with 10 years of experience. She focuses on concerns people often carry at home, including stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting worries, trauma and abuse, and grief.

Hodges helps people who are juggling parenting and other life demands. She also addresses issues like depression, addiction, anger, self-esteem, and difficulties with intimacy. Her work includes support around adoption and foster care, blended family challenges, and family of origin concerns.

In sessions she uses straightforward, person-centered methods. Conversations concentrate on what is happening now and what can be tried next. Clients can expect practical problem-solving alongside space to talk about painful events and losses.

Her approach draws from attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, motivational interviewing, and client-centered therapy. These methods are used to improve communication, manage strong emotions, and change patterns that cause distress.

Jessica has worked across diverse settings over a decade and with a wide range of issues, including ADHD, bipolar concerns, eating and sleep problems, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue. People often come with overlapping challenges, and she addresses co-morbidity directly while keeping goals practical and achievable.

How sessions work

How Jessica uses therapeutic approaches online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships. It looks at how early bonds affect current trust and communication, which can help when relationship stress or parenting issues feel repetitive.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into manageable steps. It is practical for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep or eating difficulties, and for changing habits that cause daily stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match goals and preferences. She assesses what is most helpful and adjusts the plan over time so sessions stay relevant and focused.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, schedule shorter check-ins, or avoid travel time. The therapist will discuss pacing, homework, and practical strategies so therapy can be integrated into everyday life.
