About Jessica

Jessica Hodges is a licensed professional counselor with six years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, respectful approach and focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. Jessica centers conversations on each person's needs and meets clients where they are in the process.

She blends practical tools with emotional understanding to address issues like addiction, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Sessions may include techniques to notice thoughts, practice mindfulness, and build everyday coping skills. Jessica emphasizes connection and works with concerns tied to attachment, communication, and control.

Her style draws from several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. These methods can help with patterns of impulsivity, social anxiety, body image, and compassion fatigue by teaching skills and shifting how people respond to difficult feelings.

Jessica also supports people facing struggles related to parenting, LGBT matters, self-love, and women’s issues. She aims to make sessions relatable and useful so clients leave with clear next steps. Her Tennessee licensure is listed as LPC-MHSP and LPC.

If you are ready to begin, she asks that you complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability. The therapy subscription can be canceled at any time, and session fees vary by location and scheduling arrangements.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values-driven action. It helps people who feel stuck by teaching ways to move toward what matters despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. These approaches can be useful for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, or a blend of methods is the best fit and adjust as needed over time.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit care into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or from different locations. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and let people choose sessions that match their energy level, such as staying off camera or scheduling a phone conversation if that works better for concentration or bandwidth.
