About Tamara
Dr. Tamara Hodges helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. She brings two decades of experience as a Texas psychologist and aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable.
Her tone is direct and supportive for parents who are worried and pressed for time. She uses everyday conversation to sort through what is most upsetting. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
That can mean spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing new ways to respond, or clarifying values that guide daily choices. Her approach draws on several methods including cognitive behavioral techniques and acceptance strategies. These methods help people notice thoughts, test assumptions, and take actions that align with their goals.
She also uses client-centered ways of listening so people feel heard and respected during sessions. Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through parenting stress, relationship difficulties, and feelings of overwhelm. She helps people break big problems into smaller, doable tasks and track progress over time.
Dr. Hodges holds the credential TX Psychologist 25171 and has provided professional services across varied clinical settings over 20 years. She offers sessions in English and works with each person to decide which therapeutic tools fit their situation.

Approaches and how they fit online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to clarify their values and take small committed steps even when thoughts and emotions are hard to tolerate. It is useful for parents who want to act differently despite stress or worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and lift mood. It suits people who want concrete tools and homework to practice between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences and then recommend which methods to try first. That choice is reviewed and adjusted as progress is made so the plan stays practical and relevant to daily life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule. Video allows face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can work when a quick, focused conversation is needed or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for short check-ins, journaling thoughts between sessions, or getting brief support during the week. These options help people keep regular contact with a licensed professional while balancing parenting and other commitments.
