About Samantha

Samantha Hodges is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who works with adults navigating stress, anxiety, ADHD, relationship strain, career transitions, grief, and other life challenges.

Background and approach

She helps people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted and are seeking practical skills, greater self-awareness, and sustained change rather than quick fixes. Samantha combines a warm, collaborative stance with direct guidance when needed to keep clients focused on meaningful goals and real-world progress.

Her clinical training includes a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and many targeted trainings in trauma-informed approaches, grief and end-of-life support, compassion-based cognitive therapy, assertiveness and boundaries, and recovery methods such as SMART.

Samantha integrates evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), client-centered work, existential exploration, and Jungian ideas, tailoring interventions to each person’s needs. She frames therapy around strengths, skills-building, and experiential learning so clients can develop coping strategies, clarity, and a stronger sense of purpose.

Samantha aims to empower adults to make intentional shifts in how they feel, think, and live while offering steady support throughout the process.

How Samantha’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and build psychological flexibility by learning to notice thoughts while committing to value-driven action; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering concrete tools for mood, sleep, and anxiety challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that allows a person’s own insights and strengths to guide growth.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Samantha works with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and current circumstances, and she may blend techniques as needs evolve so the work remains practical and personally meaningful.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or other commitments. These formats allow regular check-ins, practice of skills between sessions, and access to therapy without geographic travel, making it easier to maintain momentum while working toward clearer thinking, better coping, and a more intentional life.
