About Jessica

Jessica Hodges is a licensed social worker in Kansas with a decade of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, and a wide range of other concerns.

Background and approach

She draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to help clients explore emotions and patterns, build coping skills, and work toward clearer communication and improved well-being. Her practice emphasizes a nonjudgmental, collaborative atmosphere where clients are invited to share thoughts and feelings openly.

Jessica combines Internal Family Systems concepts with attachment-informed care and practical strategies from cognitive and behavioral therapies to tailor work to each person’s needs. She also brings experience with issues such as grief, addiction, intimacy and sexual concerns, ADHD, body image, caregiver stress, and family-of-origin dynamics.

Jessica encourages people who are ready to take the first step to seek support and helps them navigate the process of matching goals with a therapy approach that fits their life and values.

Approaches that guide online care and connection



Internal Family Systems (IFS) offers a way to understand internal parts and how they interact; this approach helps people notice inner conflicts, reduce self-criticism, and build greater internal harmony when facing issues like anxiety, trauma responses, or relationship patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape expectations and emotional responses, offering pathways to improve trust, communication, and closeness in relationships and to address attachment-related difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be effective for managing anxiety, depression, and stress-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work itself, and the therapist collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what feels most helpful and adapt techniques over time so the plan reflects the client’s changing priorities.

Online therapy with Jessica uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for busy schedules or those who prefer remote care. These formats allow regular contact, easier scheduling, and the ability to use therapeutic tools in day-to-day contexts while working toward practical progress and emotional growth.
