About Tamika
Tamika Hodges is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship struggles. She holds LCSW and LSCSW credentials and brings six years of practice experience to her work in Kansas. She starts by listening to each person's story and building on their strengths.
Tamika treats people as the experts on their lives and partners with them to set practical goals. Sessions move at a steady, straightforward pace so clients can try new ways of coping between meetings.
How Tamika works
Her approach blends several methods to match real-life needs. Tamika uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how early bonds affect current relationships. She also applies cognitive-behavioral tools to help change unhelpful thinking and DBT skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Many people seek help for stress, grief, self-esteem, addictions, parenting strain, or career pressure. She also addresses concerns like body image, chronic illness, adoption and foster care issues, and compassion fatigue. Tamika works with a wide range of life problems and layered diagnoses rather than a single presenting issue.
In sessions she keeps language plain and practical. Clients can expect concrete strategies, real-time coaching, and space to reflect. The aim is steady progress toward clearer thinking, calmer emotions, and more manageable day-to-day life.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when people struggle with trust, closeness, or repeating negative relationship cycles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques feel most helpful and practical.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, day-to-day coaching, or when someone prefers writing rather than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while still using the same therapeutic approaches discussed above.
