Atasha Codginton, LMHC - Therapist in New York

About Atasha

Atasha Codginton is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship tensions, parenting challenges, and self-esteem struggles. She emphasizes clients' strengths and sees each person as the expert on their own life.

LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and Atasha practices under New York credentials. She draws on practical, relationship-centered methods that help families communicate more clearly.

Background and approach

Sessions often focus on what feels most pressing in day-to-day life, like parenting decisions or recurring arguments. She uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot patterns in thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Atasha also uses emotionally focused techniques to help people connect and repair hurt in close relationships.

Solution-focused work helps set small, achievable goals so progress can be felt quickly. Together these approaches aim to make changes that fit each household’s routine and values. Her background includes three years of professional counseling experience in New York.

That experience informs an approach that values straightforward strategies and steady support rather than heavy jargon. She encourages parents and family members to try small shifts and notice what changes. Sessions are offered in English and provided through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Getting started involves a short online questionnaire and scheduling that fits the family’s timetable.

Therapeutic approaches that work well online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person’s perspective. The therapist creates space to hear what matters most and helps families identify their own solutions. This approach is helpful when parents or caregivers want a respectful, strength-based conversation about family life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In sessions the therapist and client identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice small behavior changes. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, stress, and repetitive worries that get in the way of daily parenting and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then suggest methods that fit the situation. This collaborative decision-making means plans can change as progress is seen.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family routines and to check in between meetings. Many families find that remote sessions reduce travel time and allow regular follow-up while keeping work and childcare commitments intact.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
