About Tamara
Dr. Tamara Hodges is a Texas psychologist (TX Psychologist 25171) with 20 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. She speaks English and practices from Texas.
She focuses on straightforward conversations about what is happening now. Sessions center on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, and on testing small changes that can reduce distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the approaches she uses to map connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Her work also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the conversation grounded in each person's perspective. Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Existential ideas appear when they fit a person's needs. She combines these methods into practical steps clients can try between sessions.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep people stuck, then suggests experiments to shift those patterns. She helps people set short-term goals and tracks progress in concrete ways. This can look like keeping brief thought records, practicing new communication skills, or testing a different response to stressful moments.
People who reach out can expect a focused, problem-solving approach that emphasizes clear skills and short exercises. The aim is to reduce the things that interfere with daily life and to build routines that make managing stress and relationships easier. Scheduling starts with a short matching questionnaire and a first session to set priorities.
How her approaches translate to online work
Many of her methods translate directly to virtual sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in daily life, which makes it easy to set concrete homework between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and committed actions, helping clients choose small steps that align with what matters to them.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to decide which methods to emphasize based on a person’s goals, symptoms, and preferences. That decision is revisited as progress is tracked and strategies are adjusted.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. Therapists can also adapt exercises so they work in the settings where people live and work, and they will suggest practical ways to practice skills between meetings.
