About Jessica

Jessica Hodges uses an integrative approach centered on Internal Family Systems alongside evidence-based therapies to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, addiction recovery, and life transitions.

Background and approach

As a licensed professional counselor with LPC-MHSP and LPC credentials, she emphasizes compassionate, individualized care and partners with each person to shape treatment that fits their needs and goals. With six years of clinical experience and a background working from Tennessee, Jessica brings practical skills in addressing self-esteem, motivation, and coping with depression and compassion fatigue.

Her work also includes supporting issues related to attachment, body image, communication, control and impulsivity, social anxiety, and women’s concerns. Jessica aims to create a respectful and sensitive therapeutic space where clients can build insight and sustainable coping strategies.

Therapy with Jessica blends approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered techniques to foster self-understanding and behavioral change. She encourages those taking the first step toward support and tailors sessions to align with individual preferences and circumstances.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jessica often integrates Internal Family Systems and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into her online work. Internal Family Systems helps clients explore the different parts of themselves, offering a way to understand internal conflicts and heal patterns that contribute to anxiety, self-criticism, or addictive behavior. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and mindful action, supporting people in developing flexibility around difficult thoughts and feelings while building meaningful life changes.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailor a mix of methods that best support progress. This collaborative stance helps ensure that strategies feel relevant and usable in everyday life rather than one-size-fits-all prescriptions.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care adaptable to varying schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow clients to access therapeutic tools, skill-building, and reflective work from locations that fit their routines, while keeping the focus on practical strategies and emotional insight provided by licensed professionals.
