Codi Kyle , LMFT

Codi Kyle is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 15 years of clinical experience in Tennessee. She blends practical, goal-oriented work with a client-centered outlook to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and self-esteem concerns. Her style is straightforward and collaborative, with an emphasis on clear steps clients can use between sessions.

Before training as a therapist, she worked in corporate human resources and lived in multiple states and countries while growing up in a military family. Those life experiences inform her grounded approach and her comfort helping people navigate career transitions and major life changes. She completed a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, Tennessee.

Codi draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused methods to set achievable goals and change unhelpful habits. She also uses narrative therapy to help people reframe painful stories about themselves and their relationships. Typical concerns she addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, communication difficulties, and challenges around forgiveness, guilt, and shame.

Her background includes work in outpatient, substance use, and inpatient mental health settings, which gives her experience with a range of care needs. She aims to offer practical tools for coping with chronic pain, illness, caregiving stress, impulsivity, and isolation. People often leave sessions with clear next steps to try between meetings.

Codi works with adults on matters such as career questions, money stress, midlife transitions, and body image. Sessions are conducted in English, and her practice approaches are tailored to each person’s goals and pace.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are. It helps people explore feelings and priorities while the therapist follows their lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or impulsive behavior.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods together and adjust as needed. That cooperation helps tailor sessions so the work fits the person's life and pace.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make scheduling more flexible and reduce travel time. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets people check in quickly, and text messaging supports short updates or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy routines while working on stress, anxiety, addictions, and life transitions.
