About Tamara
Dr. Tamara Hodges is a Texas psychologist with 20 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and depression. Dr. Hodges speaks English and practices in Texas as TX Psychologist 25171.
She focuses on how family of origin patterns and early roles affect present life. In sessions she encourages straightforward talk about thoughts and feelings. Conversations aim to clarify what repeats from the past and what the client wants to change.
Her style draws on several evidence-based approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She also uses Client-Centered and Dialectical Behavior Therapy elements when helpful. These tools are used to build practical skills for managing mood, responding to conflict, and improving communication.
People can expect a collaborative process. Dr. Hodges helps identify small, manageable steps to try between meetings. She pays attention to how beliefs learned in childhood shape choices now, and she helps people experiment with new patterns.
Her work addresses related concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, control issues, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. The emphasis is on clear conversations, skill practice, and noticing how past family roles influence current relationships.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and the patterns that come from family roles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and habits by testing new behaviors and tracking results, which helps with depression, worry, and communication problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and is done together. The therapist will discuss what feels most useful based on goals, current problems, and preferences. New strategies can be adjusted as the work proceeds so the approach stays practical and relevant.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work and parenting schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. When formats are confirmed, consider which arrangement will let you focus on the work and practice new skills in everyday life.
