Cody Hedrick , LCSW

Cody Hedrick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of professional experience. He has worked in a variety of therapeutic roles since 2011 and brings sustained focus to families and children affected by Reactive Attachment Disorder, dedicating the past six years to that specialty. He has also provided therapy for individual adults for many years and has collaborated with New Mexico's Children, Youth and Families Department (CYFD) to teach parenting skills and address challenges that carry into adulthood.

Cody works with a broad range of concerns, including LGBTQ+ issues, self-esteem and self-love, anxiety, depression, suicide risk, chronic and declining health conditions such as chronic illness and cancer, and attachment-related struggles. His approach integrates elements of existential and attachment therapies alongside strengths-based and person-centered methods, with complementary use of narrative techniques where relevant. Mindfulness practices, meditation, and practical self-care strategies are woven into his work to help build internal resources and resilience.

He emphasizes guiding clients toward personally meaningful goals and sustainable change, supporting people to develop skills that reduce emotional distress and increase a sense of agency when facing life challenges. As an LCSW, he combines clinical training with practical experience to tailor interventions to each individual's circumstances and aims.

Attachment, Client-Centered, and Mindfulness Approaches for Online Care

Cody Hedrick integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy into his online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns and early bonds to help address difficulties with trust, intimacy, and family dynamics; it can be particularly helpful for clients and families working through attachment issues or histories of disruption. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a collaborative, nonjudgmental relationship in which the therapist follows the client's lead, helping people clarify goals and build self-directed solutions for stress, depression, or life transitions. Mindfulness Therapy uses practical attention and grounding techniques to increase present-moment awareness and improve coping with anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, and emotional reactivity.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Cody collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds so the approach feels useful and sustainable.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support, maintain continuity during life changes, and fit therapy into busy routines while working toward meaningful outcomes.
