Approaches and Online Access for Practical Change
Dr. Cody commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy to guide her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, sleep disruption, and stress, while client-centered therapy prioritizes the client's perspective, building a respectful therapeutic relationship that supports insight, self-acceptance, and personal growth.She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help clients develop present-moment awareness and self-regulation skills, which can be useful for managing trauma responses, stress, and emotional ups and downs. Together, these approaches are used collaboratively; the therapist partners with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and personal preferences rather than assuming a single path works for everyone.
Online therapy with Dr. Cody is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options make it possible to engage in consistent work around scheduling constraints, maintain continuity while traveling or living abroad, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for ongoing therapeutic progress.
