About Jessica
Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Tennessee with six years of experience. Jessica Hodges focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, parenting concerns, and coping with life changes. She also addresses compassion fatigue and LGBT issues. Jessica uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage day-to-day challenges.
Jessica combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with attachment-based and client-centered work. Sessions usually focus on identifying patterns that keep problems going and on skills that change how people respond to stress. She aims for clear, manageable steps rather than abstract theory.
In a typical session Jessica talks through what is most pressing and helps set short-term goals. She works on stress reduction, building confidence, and strategies for reducing addictive behaviors. Communication skills and handling control or impulsivity are frequent topics.
She pays attention to relationship patterns and body image concerns that affect mood and behavior. Parenting questions are treated as individual challenges about roles, boundaries, and managing stress. Women’s issues and social anxiety are addressed with techniques adapted from CBT and DBT.
Jessica asks clients to describe what they want to change and what has helped before. She uses that information to choose tools from ACT, CBT, DBT, attachment-based, or client-centered methods. The result is a focused plan with practical exercises and regular check-ins.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to tolerate difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people practice different ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean using ACT exercises one week and skills from DBT or CBT the next, based on what is most helpful at the time.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, shorten travel time, and reduce barriers like needing to arrange childcare. They also allow sessions that focus on brief skills practice, homework review, and planning for real-life situations without requiring in-person visits.
