About Jessica

Jessica Hodges is an LSCSW licensed in Kansas with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. Jessica lists many other concerns she supports including depression, grief, ADHD, and issues around intimacy and addiction.

Jessica keeps sessions direct and practical. She listens to what is most pressing and helps people name specific problems. Together they set clear steps to try between meetings and review what helped. This makes sessions focused and easier to follow for someone who finds social situations or speaking up difficult.

Her approach draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. She also uses Client-Centered techniques to keep conversations grounded in the person’s own priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills appear when learning new ways to manage anxiety and stressful moments.

Jessica often works with issues tied to family of origin, adoption and foster care, attachment worries, and blended family stress. She also supports people dealing with body image, eating-related concerns, and caregiving stress. These topics come up alongside communication problems, commitment questions, and recovery from domestic violence.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Clients who want clear steps and practical skills find the sessions useful. To get started she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.

How Jessica's approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and closeness. Online sessions can use this approach to name connection patterns and practice new ways of relating in everyday situations. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person's goals and perspective, letting the client lead what they want to work on while the therapist reflects and clarifies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce anxiety symptoms and avoidant habits.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is part of the work. Jessica will discuss which methods match the client’s concerns, goals, and preferences and then try them together. This is a collaborative process with regular check-ins to see what is helping and what needs adjusting.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also make it simpler to practice skills in real-life settings between sessions. The focus will be on practical tools and steps that can be used in daily life, with the therapist and client deciding together how to adapt them for online meetings.
