About Cody

Cody Broussard is a licensed professional counselor who draws on eight years of clinical experience and a longer background in ministry. He holds a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University and a Master of Divinity from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. Cody practices in Louisiana and provides straightforward support for people facing common life challenges.

He creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what matters most.

Background and approach

Cody uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, and solution-focused tools to help clients set goals and try different strategies. He speaks plainly and focuses on small, practical steps that can be used right away. Sessions typically emphasize understanding what a person is facing now and testing helpful changes.

Cody values respect and tailors his work to each person’s situation. He combines practical skill-building with chances to reflect on meaning and choices. His background also includes many years in Christian ministry, pastoral work, and chaplaincy.

That experience informs his calm, empathetic manner and his comfort discussing faith and life questions when clients bring them up. Cody recognizes that asking for help can feel risky. He aims to support people through that first step and beyond, offering steady encouragement while working toward clear, achievable goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers acceptance and reflects what matters to the client, helping them clarify goals and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches specific skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful habits.

Cody aims to find the best fit together with each person. He discusses options and adjusts methods based on a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize skill work, reflective conversation, or a mix of approaches.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let people connect from home, fit sessions into busy days, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. The variety of options supports steady momentum and makes it easier to try techniques between meetings.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
