About Kym

Dr. Kym Codallos is a licensed clinical social worker with two decades of clinical experience. She works from Wyoming and focuses on practical, real-world help for stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, parenting challenges, and ADHD.

She meets people where they are and speaks plainly about next steps. Her style is respectful and down-to-earth. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented.

She adapts the plan to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.

Background and approach

Dr. Codallos uses a mix of therapy approaches. She draws on client-centered work to center the person’s priorities.

She also uses cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking patterns and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage emotions and build coping skills. Over twenty years she has helped with family problems, blended family concerns, adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and substance use issues.

She also supports people facing aging and geriatric concerns, cancer, body image, and communication problems. Sessions may include practical skill-building, reframing thoughts, and planning concrete steps for parenting or relationship changes. Dr.

Codallos aims to make therapy useful and clear so families can try small changes between sessions. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials with licensure listed in Colorado and Wyoming. Meetings are offered in English and can be scheduled through the standard start process on the site.

Online approaches that fit family life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities. It helps when someone needs a space to be heard and to set goals that matter to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical tools to reduce anxiety and stress. It is useful for changing patterns that get in the way of daily life. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication. It can help with relationship strain and intense stress.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each client about goals and preferences and suggest approaches that fit. That process is collaborative so the plan stays focused on what the person or family wants to accomplish.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats let people fit therapy into busy schedules and use the mode that feels comfortable. They make it easier to keep progress going between in-person commitments and to access care from home.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
