About Cody

Cody has three years of professional experience working with people on motivation, confidence, and coping after loss.
How Cody works
He approaches each conversation with the belief that the client is the expert in their own story. That means he helps people notice strengths already at work and build on them to handle current struggles. Sessions are oriented toward clear goals and real-life tools.
Cody uses techniques that are evidence-based to reduce anxiety, manage compulsive patterns, and address painful feelings after loss. He also helps people sort through issues around attachment, body image, guilt, and social fears. People often come to work on specific symptoms like panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, or trouble starting and keeping healthy habits.
Cody will help break these problems into smaller, manageable steps and practice those steps together during sessions. Therapy with Cody is collaborative. He listens, offers feedback, and suggests concrete strategies to try between sessions.
His focus is on steady progress and helping people build confidence to move toward goals.

Online support options
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Cody uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that target specific symptoms and patterns. One common approach focuses on managing anxiety and panic by teaching breathing, grounding exercises, and step-by-step exposure to feared situations. This helps reduce the intensity of panic and avoidance over time.Another emphasis is on addressing obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors through structured behavioral strategies that break cycles of repetitive actions. These methods help people test beliefs and practice new responses to intrusive urges. Cody also uses grief-focused strategies that combine processing painful feelings with rebuilding routines and meaningful activities to support recovery after loss.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Cody works with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. He views therapy as a team effort where client preferences and everyday realities guide decisions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can support quick check-ins, and messaging is good for shorter updates or reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep work moving forward.
