About Jessica
Jessica Hodges is a licensed professional counselor with six years of clinical experience. She holds LPC-MHSP and LPC credentials and practices in Tennessee. Jessica focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and challenges around addiction and self-esteem.
She uses practical, straightforward talk and tailors sessions to each person's needs. Sessions center on building skills for coping with life changes and managing impulses. Jessica also addresses concerns linked to parenting, LGBT issues, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
Her approach combines several methods to match different problems and preferences. She applies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take committed action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns.
Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered techniques shape how she builds trust and explores relational patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when needed. Jessica keeps things collaborative and practical during sessions.
She aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can talk through setbacks and build new routines. Progress often focuses on small, measurable steps such as practicing new communication skills or setting manageable goals. Jessica encourages follow-through and checks in on what works between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. Online sessions can focus on identifying values, setting concrete goals, and practicing short exercises between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and parenting stress; therapists can guide thought records and behavior experiments during video or chat sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on goals and preferences. That process can include trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting as needed so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is low or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief updates or between-session support into a busy schedule. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
