About me
I am an experienced, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 17 years of clinical experience licensed in the State of Missouri and currently residing in Tennessee. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from the St. Louis University in 2003. I have extensive experience working with individuals diagnosed with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) to include symptoms of depression, anxiety, grief and loss, irritability, sleep disorders and trauma. I have also worked with those struggling with relationship issues and in the area of career growth and development
For the past 7 ½ years I have worked with active duty soldiers and Veterans who have experienced multiple traumatic events during their military career to include military sexual assault, combat trauma, and post deployment reintegration difficulties.
I utilize solution focused and evidence based treatment modalities (EMDR, PE, CPT, CBT), that are best suited for patient’s diagnosis and their individualized treatment goals.
I have an open and nurturing personality and am passionate towards helping others heal using a mindful and a holistic approach to treatment.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Laura Hodges. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
She is caring as always. She has a way with words that doesn't make me feel like I am crazy when my emotional roller coaster flys off the track every other day.

I enjoy my client relationship with my counselor. She's been supportive and responds in a timely manner. I am a busy person and simply don't have time to drive to an office, so online chatting works well for me at this point. She understands my symptoms regarding my issues and offers supportive advice.
