Samantha Hodges, LPC

Samantha Hodges is an LPC (licensed professional counselor) based in Georgia who helps adults find clarity and practical tools during stressful times. She works with people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, grief, career strain, addiction concerns, or major life changes. Her style is warm and direct when needed, focused on real steps toward feeling more confident and calm.

Samantha uses conversational, skills-based work to build day-to-day coping and longer-term change. She draws on strategies that help you notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of responding. Sessions often include learning new skills, practicing them, and checking how they fit into real life.

Her training includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor of Arts in Communication. She has about eight years of clinical experience and offers mindset and psychological skills coaching alongside counseling. The LPC credential indicates licensure as a professional counselor in Georgia.

Samantha describes her approach as collaborative and strengths focused. She aims to help people name what matters, try doable habits, and build self-awareness so changes stick. She can be gentle and encouraging, and also push when clear accountability will help progress.

In addition to general stress and mood concerns, she lists focused areas such as ADHD, sleep difficulties, anger, compassion fatigue, attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, and career worries. She also works with trauma and grief-related issues and supports people navigating communication and relationship problems.

Approaches That Guide Online Work

Samantha uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in practical ways that fit online work. ACT helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values instead of getting stuck in unhelpful thoughts. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and reflecting so people feel understood and can find their own solutions.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going. CBT is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, mood concerns, and behaviors related to addiction by breaking issues into manageable steps and experiments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the work collaborative and practical.

If you are interested in online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not list specific options. Many people find online work helps fit therapy into busy schedules, makes regular check-ins easier, and allows skill practice between meetings. Other practical benefits include shorter appointment check-ins, avoiding travel time, and choosing quieter times that match daily life.
