01About Jessica
Jessica Hodges is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on building practical skills people can use in daily life. She uses clear, direct conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction struggles, and low self-esteem. Jessica works from Tennessee and brings six years of clinical experience to her practice.
She prefers straightforward, respectful talk in sessions. Jessica tailors each plan to the person in front of her instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach.
Background and approach
She aims to make small changes that add up to better coping and more confidence. Her approach draws from evidence-based ideas like acceptance and commitment strategies, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. These methods help with unhelpful thinking, impulse control, and building regular habits for emotional balance.
Attachment-focused work is available when relational patterns show up as part of the problem. Jessica often helps people address parenting stress, compassion fatigue, body image concerns, and challenges tied to identity and relationships. She also focuses on boundaries, communication problems, and impulsivity so clients can feel steadier in their daily lives.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Jessica frames goals in plain language and checks progress regularly so the plan can change when needed. She encourages people to take one workable step at a time toward feeling more capable and connected.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small steps toward a meaningful life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, behaviors, and feelings link together and teaches specific tools to change unhelpful patterns. These tools can help with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns influence current connections and communication. It can help when relational patterns or trust issues keep showing up in adult life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica collaborates with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She checks in and adapts the plan as progress is made so the approach fits the person's life and needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow full conversations similar to in-person meetings. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when people prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, coping plans between sessions, or people who express themselves better in writing. These options make scheduling easier and let people fit therapy into busy routines.
