Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 3.8 mi away • Lubbock, TX


I believe in the strength and grit that brought you here—and I trust that the same inner resources that carried you here can help you build the life you truly want. I work with emerging adults and motivated seekers who’ve read the books, followed the advice, and tried to fix it all, yet still feel something is missing. You don’t need another voice telling you what to do—you need someone who can help you hear your own. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing what’s “wrong.” It’s about uncovering what’s been hidden, reconnecting with your inner resources, and moving forward with clarity and confidence.

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 Lubbock, TX

Searching for therapists in Lubbock starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to work on. People often look for therapy in Lubbock for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, life transitions, or stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Lubbock has a range of therapists, counselors, and psychologists, but the right fit also depends on practical details. You may prefer an office near Texas Tech University, downtown Lubbock, or neighborhoods closer to home, or you may want the flexibility of virtual sessions. As you narrow your search, review appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s style, session structure, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Lubbock can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show an estimated cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Lubbock, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
