Atasha Codginton , LMHC

Atasha Codginton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who uses client-centered care to guide people through stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family challenges, parenting questions, and self-esteem concerns. She approaches sessions with a calm, respectful manner and helps people notice their strengths as they work toward change.

She believes each person knows their story best and brings that knowledge to sessions. That perspective shapes how she asks questions and listens. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings and on building small habits that add up over time.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how feelings shape interactions. She also uses Solution-Focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals and track progress. These methods are used to address issues like abandonment, codependency, blended family tensions, and guilt or shame.

Atasha has three years of professional experience working with a variety of personal and family concerns, including caregiver stress, multicultural issues, obsessive-compulsive patterns, jealousy, and questions about life purpose. She offers straightforward guidance and practical tools rather than jargon.

People who choose her can expect a collaborative pace where their priorities guide the work. She supports parents dealing with parenting strain, people navigating infidelity or forgiveness, and those coping with family-of-origin wounds. Sessions are conducted in English and arranged around the client’s schedule.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Atasha integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support people through online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what the person brings, which helps build trust and clarify goals during conversations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and offers concrete exercises to try between appointments to reduce anxiety and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That team approach means plans can change as needs shift, and techniques are chosen for what the individual wants to achieve.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and reading nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing to speak or need brief, ongoing support between sessions. These options help make scheduling easier and let people fit therapy into busy lives.
