Codi Kyle

Codi Kyle is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience. She uses a client-centered style and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, career concerns, and major life changes.

Codi moved into therapy after a career in corporate human resources. She completed a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, Tennessee in 2009. Her background includes work in outpatient care, substance abuse settings, and inpatient mental health treatment.

Her approach emphasizes clear goals and practical steps. She often draws on solution-focused techniques to make quick, actionable progress. Cognitive behavioral ideas are used when people want to change thinking patterns that feed anxiety, shame, or impulsive behaviors.

She also uses narrative therapy techniques to help people reframe their stories about themselves and their relationships. Sessions aim to be conversational and straightforward, so people can leave with things to try between meetings.

Codi helps individuals facing issues such as abandonment and attachment difficulties, body image concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt, and isolation. She works with questions about life purpose, midlife transition, money and career stress, and coping skills for everyday challenges.

Based in Tennessee, she provides therapy in English and draws on varied clinical settings to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Approaches that transfer well to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and creates space to talk through what matters most. It’s about listening, reflecting, and shaping goals together so sessions feel relevant and practical.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, manage impulses, and address negative self-talk. Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from problem stories and rewrite those stories in more helpful ways.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide whether client-centered work, CBT, narrative techniques, or a mix fits best. Goals, daily life, and personal preferences guide that choice rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Confirm the current session options before booking, since the profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow check-ins during short breaks, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use methods like worksheets, behavioral experiments, and story-based exercises between meetings to speed progress.
