About Samantha
Samantha Hodges is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with eight years of experience. She works with adults 18 and over facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, career questions, ADHD, addictions, trauma and grief, and the practical pressures of life transitions.
Samantha trained with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication from the University of Kentucky and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the Georgia School of Professional Psychology. She blends practical skill teaching with talking and reflection so people can make noticeable changes in day-to-day life.
Sessions focus on helping clients understand themselves better and build skills for clearer thinking, steadier emotion, and stronger boundaries. Samantha uses evidence-based tools alongside reflective work to help with self-esteem, managing anger, sleep problems, and career stress. She also supports people dealing with compassion fatigue and veteran-related issues.
Her work commonly brings in methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered approaches, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside existential reflection and Jungian ideas. This mix is used to help people get unstuck, set reachable goals, and practice new ways of responding to old patterns.
Samantha describes her style as collaborative and direct when needed. She helps clients learn skills such as assertiveness, communication, and coping strategies so progress continues between sessions. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions toward them while learning to tolerate uncomfortable feelings. It can help with anxiety, low motivation, and decisions about work or relationships.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients feel understood and can explore choices at their own pace. This approach suits people who want a nonjudgmental place to talk through life changes and identity questions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches concrete techniques to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and anger management.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She collaborates with clients to try methods and adjust the plan based on what actually helps.
Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as current options are listed when you begin the matching process. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or avoid being on camera when someone prefers. These practical benefits can help young adults balance therapy with school, work, and other commitments.
