About Tamika

Tamika Hodges is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people navigate difficult emotional moments. She holds LCSW and LSCSW credentials and brings six years of practice to care for adults. She works from a strengths-based view and treats each person as the expert on their own life.

Her work focuses on common but heavy problems like anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and relationship stress. She also addresses concerns such as grief, addiction, self-esteem, and burnout. Adoption and foster care matters are listed among her additional focuses and may be part of conversations clients bring.

Tamika uses practical approaches to help people make changes. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods to focus on relationships and the person’s goals.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and straightforward. Tamika listens, offers tools, and helps set small steps that are realistic for daily life. She encourages people to notice what already works and to build on those strengths.

She practices in Kansas and communicates in English. People who want to begin are asked to use the site Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. From there they can schedule sessions based on the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online work

Tamika commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into manageable steps and testing new ways of coping.

She also brings Attachment-Based Therapy into conversations to look at how past and present relationship patterns affect current well-being. This approach helps people name relational needs and try new ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy guides the tone of sessions by keeping goals and preferences in the foreground and following the client’s pace.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try different strategies, and adjust methods over time. Clients play an active role in deciding what feels useful and what should change.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists licensed in your state can often support consistent care while you balance work, family, and other commitments.
