About Tamika

Tamika Hodges is a licensed clinical social worker with six years of professional experience. She practices in Kansas and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and related life challenges. Tamika centers the work on each person's strengths and choices. She aims to support and empower clients as they make changes that matter to them.

Her approach is practical and collaborative. She listens for what matters most and helps people find steps they can use between sessions. Tamika uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when intense feelings get in the way.

Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy shape how she builds a trusting relationship with clients. That relationship becomes a place to practice new ways of relating and coping. Tamika also brings Trauma-Focused Therapy into the work for people dealing with abuse or difficult past events.

She works with a broad range of concerns including relationship issues, grief, addiction, eating struggles, parenting stress, career transitions, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and body image. Tamika practices in English and holds NC LCSW and KS LSCSW credentials.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Tamika uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address painful memories and the ways past events affect daily life. This approach focuses on processing difficult experiences and building safety and coping skills that reduce their hold on current feelings and behavior.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how important relationships influence emotional patterns. This helps clients understand relationship triggers and practice new ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy guides the way she listens and responds, keeping the clientxperience and choices at the center of each session.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tamika will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She collaborates on a plan and adjusts methods as progress is made.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online therapy helps fit sessions into busy lives, makes it easier to keep consistent work on skills, and lets brief check-ins happen without long travel. Talk with the therapist about scheduling, session length, and practical details so appointments match daily routines and needs.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
