About Samantha
Samantha Hodges is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, or major life changes. Many people come to her when they struggle with people-pleasing, codependency, attention differences, or when addictions and grief make daily life hard.
Samantha uses plain, skills-based work to help people regain footing. Sessions focus on practical tools for sleep, mood, anger, and managing career or caregiver stress. She blends cognitive approaches with mindfulness and values-based work so clients can test new behaviors between meetings.
Her training includes a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor of Arts in Communication. Over the years she has added skills in grief and bereavement support, assertiveness and boundaries, conflict resolution, and recovery-oriented methods that help people build steady routines.
In sessions she is direct when needed and collaborative otherwise. People learn to notice what keeps them stuck, try small changes, and track what helps. The emphasis is on learning real skills for self-regulation, clearer communication, and stronger personal boundaries.
Samantha describes her work as person-centered and trauma informed. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Jungian ideas, and existential perspectives to help clients understand patterns and choose workable steps forward.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Samantha commonly blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT helps people clarify personal values and practice small committed actions that match those values. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking and testing practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.She also uses a client-centered stance that keeps the conversation grounded in what matters to the person. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try, adjusting techniques based on the client's goals, preferences, and responses. This collaborative process makes it easier to find approaches that fit daily life.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking so you know how sessions are scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try skills between meetings and report back on what worked, which keeps progress practical and focused on real-life changes.
