Online session options
Approaches for online counseling and practical tools
Codi commonly combines Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Narrative Therapy helps people name and reframe the stories they tell about themselves, which can reduce shame and open new paths forward. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing small experiments to change them.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will listen to your concerns and goals, then suggest methods that fit your needs and preferences. Decisions about pacing, homework, and priorities are made collaboratively so the plan feels doable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues, while phone calls can work well when bandwidth is limited or during a short check-in. Chat and text messaging let people keep a thread going between sessions or fit counseling into a busy day. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into life.
