About Tamara
Dr. Tamara Hodges helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks plainly and listens closely, creating space for people to talk about what matters most to them. Her approach aims to make talking about hard things feel less overwhelming. Taking a first step toward change is often the hardest part, and she offers steady support through that process.
With two decades of experience as a Texas psychologist (TX Psychologist 25171), she brings practical ways to handle day-to-day problems. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change now, and on small actions that can make a difference. She uses client-centered listening to follow each person’s pace and priorities rather than imposing a fixed plan.
In sessions she may draw on tools from cognitive-behavioral approaches and acceptance and commitment ideas to help with unhelpful thinking, mood, and motivation. Dialectical behavior ideas and existential questions also inform her work when they fit a person’s goals. These methods are used as tools to support concrete steps people can try between meetings.
Her style is straightforward and warm. She aims to reduce shame and blame and to strengthen self-understanding. People who want practical strategies combined with honest conversation often find this approach useful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist follow your concerns and priorities while you describe what feels most important. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values; online work can focus on small, value-driven steps to try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and offers specific exercises to change them, which can be practiced and reviewed in remote sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and collaborate on which methods fit best. That means approaches may be blended and adjusted over time to match your needs and what feels helpful.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people work with a licensed professional from within their daily routine while focusing on practical steps and skills to use between meetings.
