About Samantha
Samantha Hodges, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, self-esteem, coping with life changes, career concerns, addiction, ADHD, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, sleep issues, anger, depression, and compassion fatigue using a mix of practical therapeutic approaches she lists.
Hodges focuses on helping adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted. She aims to give clear tools and skills to manage symptoms and make intentional changes. Sessions combine teaching skills, building awareness, and trying new ways of responding to problems.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Communication from the University of Kentucky and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the Georgia School of Professional Psychology. She describes herself as a psychological skills trainer and a mindset and manifestation coach in addition to counseling practice.
She uses a person-centered stance and draws on several methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, acceptance and commitment ideas, existential reflection, and some Jungian concepts. She also lists training in grief work, end-of-life counseling, assertiveness and boundaries, and recovery-oriented approaches.
In sessions she can be collaborative and supportive, and she says she can also be direct when that helps keep focus. The emphasis is on learning skills, increasing self-awareness, and making concrete changes that fit the client’s goals.

How her approaches shape online work
Samantha lists Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as one approach she uses. ACT focuses on identifying values, accepting difficult thoughts and feelings, and taking committed actions that match what matters to the client. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and getting unstuck from avoidance patterns.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the client’s perspective and supports self-directed insight and decision making. This approach can help people clarify priorities and strengthen their sense of agency. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another method she applies; CBT breaks down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and teaches practical skills to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or anger concerns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That means adjusting techniques over time based on what helps most in real sessions.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow a quicker check-in when practical. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, client-centered, and CBT techniques to an online setting so clients can learn skills, practice exercises, and track progress without changing the core therapeutic work.
