About Samantha
Samantha Hodges is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She supports people coping with relationship struggles, career decisions, grief, trauma, ADHD, addiction concerns, and the emotional fallout of major changes. Her style aims to help people feel more confident, calm, and empowered.
Samantha draws on eight years of practice and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the Georgia School of Professional Psychology. She blends practical skills training with reflective work to help clients notice patterns and try different choices. Sessions focus on developing knowledge, coping skills, self-awareness, and real-world practice that can shift daily life.
Her approach is warm and collaborative, and she can be direct when needed to keep progress moving. She uses exercises, skill-building, and mindful awareness to help people manage emotions, improve communication, and set boundaries. The aim is to create changes that feel meaningful and lasting rather than quick fixes.
Samantha also teaches mindset and manifestation techniques alongside counseling tools when appropriate. She emphasizes strengths and helps people lean into what already works while addressing areas they want to improve. Clients are invited to try practical steps between sessions and reflect on what helps.
People interested in working on coping after natural or human-caused disasters, compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, or veteran-related concerns may find her background relevant. Samantha works in English and practices in Georgia as an LPC.
How ACT, Client-Centered, and CBT Guide Online Work
Samantha often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape sessions. ACT helps people notice what matters most and take action even with difficult thoughts or feelings, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting the client where they are to build trust and self-understanding. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change patterns that contribute to stress or low mood.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Samantha will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. Together they decide whether to focus more on skill practice, values-driven action, or open reflective listening.
If you are considering remote work, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use exercises and homework between meetings to reinforce progress. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, client-centered listening, and CBT exercises to work well over distance, and Samantha will help tailor the plan to what fits your routine and goals.
