Samantha Hodges, LPC

Samantha Hodges is a licensed professional counselor who helps adults feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worn out by anxiety, stress, relationship strain, work pressure, or life changes. She offers practical support and coaching to help people feel more confident, calm, and in charge of their choices.

Samantha draws on eight years of clinical experience and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the Georgia School of Professional Psychology. She pairs straightforward skill building with reflective conversation to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding.

Sessions often focus on tools for managing anxiety, improving sleep, reducing anger, and building self-esteem. She also helps people coping with ADHD, addiction concerns, grief, trauma, compassion fatigue, and career transitions. Samantha pays attention to attachment, codependency, communication problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation when those issues arise.

Her style is warm and collaborative, with room for direct feedback when needed to keep progress moving. She emphasizes learning concrete skills - such as grounding, thought work, and boundary setting - alongside deeper self-understanding and meaning work.

Samantha integrates several approaches including cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and client-centered listening to match what each person needs. She works with adults 18 and older and practices in Georgia as an LPC.

People who want practical tools plus personal insight may find her approach helpful. Samantha aims to empower clients to make intentional changes and build routines that support lasting well-being.

How Samantha Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online

CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It helps with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and patterns that keep people stuck. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while taking actions that match their values, often helping with anxiety, avoidance, and life transitions.

She also uses client-centered techniques that prioritize listening and reflecting so people feel understood. Together, these approaches are used to tailor sessions to each person's needs. Samantha works collaboratively with clients to find which methods fit best and adjusts the plan as goals change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises that use visual materials. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Text and chat let clients check in between sessions, do short skill practice, or have brief coaching-style support during a busy day.

These flexible formats make it easier to fit sessions into work and family schedules and to keep momentum between meetings. Samantha and other licensed professionals can help you decide which format and therapeutic mix will best match your goals and circumstances.
