Samantha Hodges

Samantha Hodges is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who works with adults facing stress, anger, anxiety, and life transitions. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted and want clearer direction and better day-to-day skills. Her style is warm and collaborative, and she can be direct when a nudge is needed to keep progress moving.

Samantha trained in communication at the University of Kentucky and completed a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the Georgia School of Professional Psychology. Over eight years she has combined clinical counseling with coaching to offer practical tools and mindset work. She also draws on grief support, end-of-life counseling, and recovery-oriented programs when relevant.

In sessions she teaches skills for assertiveness, boundaries, self-esteem, and conflict resolution. She uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered techniques, and cognitive behavioral methods to help people manage emotions and change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness and trauma-informed practices are used when they match a client’s needs.

Her work often includes helping clients with ADHD, addictions, career decisions, relationship difficulties, sleep problems, and compassion fatigue. Samantha emphasizes strengths and self-awareness so people can practice new behaviors between sessions and notice real change.

People who want a mix of practical skill-building, self-reflection, and supportive challenge may find her approach useful. To begin, clients are guided through clear steps to match with therapy and schedule sessions that fit their lives.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, anger, and life transitions by focusing on meaningful action rather than getting stuck in emotion. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change patterns that keep problems going. It works well for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and anger management. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing a respectful, nonjudgmental space where a person’s own goals drive the work and self-understanding grows.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Samantha will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities. She adapts techniques over time so sessions match what someone needs in the moment.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by removing travel and allowing sessions around work or caregiving schedules. Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Many people find that online sessions let them practice new skills in real time between appointments and maintain continuity of care when life is busy.
