Cody Hedrick , LCSW

Cody Hedrick, LCSW, brings 11 years of experience in therapeutic work with families, children, and adults. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - a credential that authorizes clinical social work practice - he has focused much of his practice on family systems and attachment concerns, including work with children diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder.

He has provided individual therapy to adults for many years and has collaborated with CYFD to teach and strengthen parenting skills. His clinical experience spans a wide range of challenges, including LGBTQ+ concerns, self-esteem and self-love, anxiety and depression, suicide-related issues, long-term health struggles, chronic illness and cancer, and a variety of attachment and relationship difficulties.

Therapeutically he draws on existential perspectives, attachment-based methods, strengths-based and person-centered approaches, and elements of Narrative Therapy. He also integrates mindfulness practices, meditation, self-care techniques, and other holistic supports to build internal resilience and reduce emotional distress. Cody guides clients toward personally meaningful goals and practical solutions aimed at sustainable, lasting change.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Attachment and Mindfulness Work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding and repairing patterns in close relationships. It helps clients and families explore how early experiences of connection influence current behavior and emotional responses, and it is often used when working with attachment challenges and family dynamics.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience and strengths. The therapist provides nonjudgmental support and active listening to help clients identify their values, clarify goals, and develop practical steps toward change - useful for issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple, present-focused practices such as breathing, meditation, and body awareness to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation. These techniques can assist with anxiety, stress, chronic health struggles, and building resilience.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cody works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and accessibility across locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy lives, and engage in therapy in the format that feels most comfortable.
