Codi Kyle, LMFT

Codi Kyle is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who centers her work on practical, goal-focused care. She draws on 15 years of experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and major life transitions. Her style is straightforward and collaborative, with an emphasis on short-term solutions that fit daily life.

She trained in marriage and family therapy at Trevecca Nazarene University and moved into counseling after a career in corporate human resources. That background shaped her focus on clear goals, problem solving, and real-world coping strategies. Tennessee is her long-term home after growing up in a military family and living in several places.

In sessions she uses client-centered techniques to follow the priorities people bring. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses narrative and solution-focused methods to help people reframe their stories and build step-by-step plans for change.

Codi has worked across outpatient, substance abuse, and inpatient mental health settings, which informs her ability to match strategies to different kinds of challenges. She often helps people dealing with self-esteem, career strain, caregiver stress, and the uncertainty that comes with midlife change.

People who choose to work with her can expect a practical, empathic approach and a focus on measurable progress. She aims to help clients find clearer priorities, calmer days, and manageable actions to move forward.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist reflects what matters most to the person and helps shape goals from the client’s own concerns, which can be useful for stress, self-esteem, and life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical tools to test unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors, a good fit for anxiety, impulsivity, and managing cravings.

Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from their problems by reworking the stories they tell about their lives. That can open new options around identity, midlife questions, and roles such as caregiver or professional.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match goals and preferences. That process may combine approaches and is adjusted over time based on what helps.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule. It can reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to maintain regular appointments during work weeks. Confirm the session formats offered before booking so arrangements match your routine and technical needs.
