About Tamara
Dr. Tamara Hodges is a Texas psychologist with 20 years of professional experience. She helps adults manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She also addresses issues such as body image, caregiver stress, and feelings of emptiness.
Her approach is straightforward and practical. She listens, asks clear questions, and helps people clarify what matters most to them. Sessions focus on identifying thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, then testing small changes that can ease daily strain.
Dr. Hodges draws on several therapy methods to suit different problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts shape feelings and behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and still act toward their values. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for regulating strong emotions and improving communication.
She frames work in short-term steps and longer-term goals. That might mean practicing a new way to talk about a tough subject, trying a different routine for stress, or learning a simple emotion regulation skill. The focus is on useful changes that fit everyday life.
Dr. Hodges works in English and is based in Texas as a TX Psychologist, number 25171. If someone is considering therapy, she asks them to think about what they most want to change and bring that to the first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting pulled into them and then take small actions that align with their values. It is often used when stress, anxiety, or feeling stuck are the main problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that maintain distress and testing simple changes. CBT is practical for anxiety, low mood, and relationship patterns that recur.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and tolerating difficult moments. People who struggle with impulsivity or strong mood shifts often find these skills useful.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will help clients and the therapist decide together which methods fit a person’s goals, concerns, and daily life. That choice can shift as therapy progresses and new challenges appear.
