About Tamara
Dr. Tamara Hodges brings 20 years of clinical experience to her Texas practice, supporting people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, and related concerns.
Background and approach
She also addresses issues such as body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, feelings of emptiness, family of origin conflicts, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, infidelity, isolation, jealousy, life purpose, and midlife transitions. Her approach emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person’s experience, creating space for honest reflection and change.
Dr. Hodges uses evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Existential perspectives to help clients explore thoughts, emotions, and values.
She focuses on practical strategies for managing symptoms while also attending to deeper questions about meaning and relationships. Clients can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where goals are set together and progress is reviewed over time.
Dr. Hodges frames therapy as a purposeful partnership aimed at increasing resilience, improving communication, and finding clearer direction in life.
Online Therapy with Evidence-Informed Approaches
Dr. Hodges integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as part of her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings and committing to actions that align with personal values to build a meaningful life. Both approaches offer practical skills that can be applied between sessions to support steady progress.She views choosing an approach as a collaborative process. Together with each client she considers presenting concerns, goals, and preferences to shape a plan that may draw on CBT, ACT, or other client-centered and dialectical elements. The therapeutic partnership is framed around clear goals, regular review, and adjustments based on what is most helpful for the individual.
Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to enhance accessibility and flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult, while still focusing on practical interventions and reflective exploration led by a licensed professional.
