About Samantha
Samantha Hodges is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with eight years of experience. She works with adults experiencing stress, anxiety, self-esteem struggles, life transitions, ADHD, addictions, relationship and career concerns, trauma and related issues. Samantha offers practical guidance and coaching for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.
Samantha uses clear, skills-based work to help people gain relief and direction. Sessions focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and developing routines that support sleep, focus, and mood. She blends talk therapy with concrete exercises so people leave sessions with things to try between meetings.
Her training includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the Georgia School of Professional Psychology and a Bachelor of Arts in Communication from the University of Kentucky. Those degrees inform a direct but collaborative style that mixes teaching with therapeutic conversation.
In practice she draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, existential ideas, and Jungian perspectives. That range lets Samantha address thoughts, behaviors, values, and deeper meaning all at once when appropriate.
People who choose her often want both short-term relief and longer-term change. Samantha works with clients to set clear goals and track progress. Her sessions include practical tools for managing anger, grief, relationship issues, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
How her approaches translate to online work
Samantha often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in session. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small, meaningful actions even when anxiety is present. It can help with social avoidance, worry, and decisions about change. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to reduce unhelpful patterns and improve sleep, focus, and mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will discuss options with each person and jointly decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She frames this as a collaborative process and checks in as goals evolve.
Session format options are not specified here, so confirm current online session choices before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. It also makes it possible to practice skills in everyday settings and bring real-life situations into conversation with the therapist.
