Dr. Jarrad Hodge

Dr. Jarrad Hodge

Psychologist

Virtual • Texas


I’m a licensed clinical psychologist whose work is grounded in evidence-based, compassionate care. I completed advanced graduate training in clinical psychology, followed by supervised work in outpatient and higher-acuity settings, where I treated adults and adolescents with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties.

In my practice, I primarily use approaches like CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed therapies, integrating them in a way that’s tailored to each person rather than one-size-fits-all. I pay close attention to cultural and contextual factors, and I use measurement-based care so we can see whether treatment is actually helping you over time.

Clients often describe me as understanding, direct, and collaborative: I’ll bring structure and clinical expertise while also respecting your pace and values. I work with individual adults (and in some cases teens) who are dealing with issues like chronic stress, perfectionism, identity and life transitions, grief, and the impact of past traumatic experiences.

My goal is to provide a space that is both validating and change-focused; somewhere you can be fully honest, feel understood, and also develop practical skills to live in a way that feels more aligned with who you want to be

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Friendswood, TX

Searching for therapists in Friendswood starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or a major life change. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can also show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or other methods that fit what you are looking for.

Friendswood is a smaller market, so local in-office therapist options may be more limited than in nearby larger areas. Virtual therapy can expand your search while keeping care with a therapist licensed in Texas. Some people prefer an in-office therapist near them, while others choose virtual sessions for schedule flexibility. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and experience.

Therapy in Friendswood can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and schedule directly with therapists who are accepting new clients. You can browse therapists in Friendswood, review profiles, and book when you are ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
