About Cody
Cody Granda is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people who feel stuck by extreme thinking and mood swings. She works with individuals who notice anxiety, stress, eating concerns, low self-esteem, or trouble keeping balance in relationships and daily life. Cody aims to help people feel more grounded and make choices that fit who they really are.
Cody focuses on helping clients shift away from all-or-nothing thinking. Sessions emphasize practical skills to calm intense feelings and to change habits that cause shame or conflict.
Background and approach
She also helps people notice what is working in their lives so they can build on strengths and small wins. Her background includes eight years of clinical experience and a Masters degree in Human Service with a specialty in marriage, couples, and family counseling from Capella University. Cody holds LMFT licensure in Colorado and Minnesota.
She has worked across levels of care including outpatient, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, and residential settings. Cody draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
That combination is often used in sessions for anxiety, mood swings, and eating- or body-image related concerns. Many sessions include concrete practices such as grounding exercises, skills coaching, and setting small, achievable goals. Cody also integrates strengths-based work like gratitude and self-compassion to increase hope and daily resilience.
The aim is steady, practical change rather than quick fixes.
How CBT and DBT work in online sessions
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In online sessions this often means setting small practice tasks, tracking patterns between sessions, and coaching new ways to respond to anxiety or negative body image.DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It offers concrete tools for handling intense feelings, which can help with mood swings, relationship conflict, and urges linked to eating behaviors.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick techniques that match their goals and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what helps and what doesn’t, making the process cooperative and flexible.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let clients share updates between sessions or check in without scheduling a full call. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep consistent progress.
