About Cody
Cody Hedrick is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns. He helps parents and caregivers manage stress, anxiety, grief, and parenting challenges. Cody also supports people coping with trauma, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, and problems with sleep or self-esteem.
He presents himself plainly and aims to make therapy practical and understandable for busy families. He draws on eleven years of experience in social work and clinical settings across New Mexico.
Background and approach
His background includes work with families and children, and he has provided parenting skills training in collaboration with child welfare services. Cody has spent years supporting adults through chronic illness, cancer, and long-term health struggles alongside emotional and relational concerns. In sessions he uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships still affect current behavior.
He also uses client-centered methods that follow the person’s lead and motivational interviewing to help people build motivation for change. Mindfulness and brief existential ideas show up too, often as simple exercises to help manage overwhelming feelings. Expect direct, calm conversations that focus on practical steps and personal goals.
Cody helps people identify small, sustainable changes that fit daily life. He supports building coping skills, strengthening relationships within the family, and improving emotional regulation. He works in English and practices in New Mexico as NM LCSW C-10779.
Sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Starting involves completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches for families online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions using this approach help parents see how bonding and trust affect a child’s behavior and emotional responses, and then try new ways of connecting.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on following the person’s lead and offering respectful, nonjudging support. In online meetings this means therapy moves at the family’s pace while emphasizing empathy, active listening, and practical problem solving.
Motivational Interviewing is a short-term method that helps people find their own reasons to change. It works well for parenting goals, addiction concerns, or when someone feels stuck and needs clearer steps forward.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the family or individual to choose methods that match needs, goals, and comfort with online formats. That choice can be adjusted over time as progress and priorities change.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions when video isn’t convenient, and live chat or text-based messaging for brief check-ins and moments of support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access help from wherever the client lives within New Mexico.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
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.
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.
