Cody Hedrick , LCSW

Cody Hedrick, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), brings years of experience working with children, families, and adults facing complex emotional and relational challenges. He has spent the last six years focused on families and children with Reactive Attachment Disorder, and across nearly a decade of adult practice he has supported individuals through parenting struggles, relationship conflict, and the long-term effects of attachment wounds. He has collaborated with CYFD to teach parenting skills and help resolve difficulties that persist into adulthood.

Cody has worked with a wide range of concerns including LGBTQ+ issues, self-esteem and self-love, anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, chronic and declining health conditions, cancer, and attachment-related difficulties. His approach draws on existential and attachment therapies alongside strengths-based and person-centered methods, with some use of narrative techniques to help clients reframe their stories.

Mindfulness practices, meditation, and practical self-care strategies are woven into his work to build internal resources and resilience. He aims to help clients feel more in control of their emotional states and reduce distress while navigating life changes. Cody guides people toward their personal goals and practical solutions, emphasizing sustainable change that fits each person's values and daily life.

Attachment, Person-Centered Care, and Mindfulness Online

Cody integrates attachment-based work to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection, helping clients address trust, abandonment, and intimacy concerns. Client-centered therapy is used to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client's goals lead the pace of work and personal insight emerges through the therapist's empathic support. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple practices in session that help people notice emotions and bodily sensations, which can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, and persistent pain.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Cody collaborates with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so therapy feels practical and personally relevant.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexible ways to work together, making it easier to maintain continuity during busy schedules or when in-person visits are difficult. These options support consistent practice of skills between sessions and allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing guidance from a distance.
