About Jessica
Jessica Hodges is a Kansas-based licensed social worker who focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, anger, and relationship challenges. She offers a steady, nonjudgmental presence for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step feel manageable and clear.
Her approach centers on listening first. She uses client-centered conversations to help people name what matters most. That then shapes practical steps people can try between sessions to test what works.
Background and approach
Jessica also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. That helps when issues show up again and again, such as trouble with intimacy, communication, or recurring conflicts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking and build new behavior patterns.
Over a decade of work has exposed her to a wide range of concerns, from grief and parenting stress to addictions, ADHD, body image, and trauma. She helps people break problems into parts so they become easier to manage and change. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
The format is chosen with each person's needs and schedule in mind. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and a short matching questionnaire to schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online care
Jessica often blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and small behaviors that keep problems going. Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead, which helps people feel heard and decide what to try next. CBT offers concrete exercises and experiments that can reduce anxiety, anger, or low mood.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to track how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and intimacy struggles. That perspective helps when patterns repeat across relationships and when understanding connection improves choices in daily life. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative; the therapist and client review goals together and adjust methods as needs evolve.
Online therapy makes these approaches practical and flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills coaching and emotion work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts between sessions, try short coping tools, and keep momentum when schedules are tight. These options let people fit therapy into busy lives while working with a licensed professional.
