About Cody
Cody Hedrick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Mexico who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. He also supports people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, sleep problems, addiction-related issues, career stress, and low self-esteem. Cody brings 11 years of experience to his work with adults.
He favors a straightforward, person-focused way of working. Sessions aim to identify what feels most urgent, build coping skills, and set small goals that fit daily life.
Background and approach
He uses practical tools like mindfulness and motivational interviewing alongside deeper exploration of attachment patterns. Cody draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. He uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities.
Existential ideas help people clarify values and find meaning after loss or major change. His background includes long-term work with adults and earlier roles supporting families and children, along with experience teaching parenting skills. That range informs a flexible approach for people facing blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, or family-of-origin problems.
Sessions may include breathing and grounding practices, narrative work to reframe difficult stories, and motivational strategies to support behavior change. Cody focuses on small, concrete steps that build resilience and reduce distress over time.
How attachment, mindfulness, and goals fit online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and connection patterns. Online work can use conversation and targeted exercises to identify attachment triggers and practice new responses.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce worry and ground emotions. These techniques can be guided live over video or reinforced through brief text reminders between sessions.
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people clarify change they actually want and building small, achievable steps. It pairs well with goal-setting work and can be done in short check-ins or longer video sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Cody will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than imposing a single style. This lets the work shift as progress is made.
Online formats offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and exercises. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and work well for focused check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share updates, try brief exercises, or check in between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
