About Atasha
Atasha Codginton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in New York. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, family and parenting struggles, and self-esteem. Her work emphasizes practical steps and straightforward conversation to help people feel steadier and more capable.

Background and approach
Sessions aim to build on strengths and address specific problems one step at a time. She has three years of professional experience and uses short-term strategies alongside deeper conversations when needed. That means working on skills like managing anxious thoughts, improving communication, or setting boundaries at home.
The focus is on change that clients can try between sessions. Parents who are juggling caregiving stress or blended family challenges will find practical tips and emotional support. Atasha also addresses issues such as abandonment, codependency, family of origin concerns, and obsessive or compulsive patterns when they come up in therapy.
Language of service is English and practice is based in New York. People interested in starting can expect a respectful, direct style that centers their goals and readiness for change.
Practical approaches for online anxiety and family support
Atasha draws on client-centered therapy to create a calm, listening space where the client's concerns guide the work. This approach focuses on understanding each person's perspective and building on their strengths to find workable solutions.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. CBT offers hands-on techniques to reduce anxious thinking, manage compulsive behaviors, and practice new reactions to stressful situations.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. Sessions begin by discussing goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the therapist and client decide whether to focus on skill-building, emotional processing, or short-term problem solving, and they adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and different communication needs. Video calls let people work face-to-face when helpful, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, and live chat or text-based messaging support ongoing check-ins or shorter, focused conversations. These options make it easier to stay consistent with sessions and try techniques between meetings.
