About Codi
Codi Kyle is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Tennessee with 15 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem, career concerns, and coping with life changes. Codi also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic pain and illness, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, life purpose, midlife crisis, and money worries.
She earned a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville in 2009 after a previous career in corporate human resources. Growing up in a military family, she lived in several states and countries before settling in Tennessee as her preferred home.
Codi uses client-centered methods alongside solution-focused and goal-oriented work. That means sessions tend to center on what a person wants to change and practical steps to get there. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Narrative Therapy are part of her skill set and are used when they fit a person's needs.
Her background includes work in outpatient settings, substance abuse programs, and inpatient mental health facilities. In practice she typically helps people clarify goals, try manageable changes, and talk through what keeps them stuck. The focus is on clear, concrete steps rather than long, abstract explanations.
People who bring guilt or shame about past choices or identity can expect discussions that name those feelings and explore specific actions and meaning. To begin, she asks about current concerns and what a first useful step would look like for each person.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following a person's lead, helping them name what matters and set meaningful goals. It supports people who need a steady, respectful place to sort out feelings like guilt or shame. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and helps people test small changes in thinking and behavior to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Codi treats finding the right approach as a collaborative task. She will talk with each person about their situation, preferences, and goals and suggest which methods to try first. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan as needed rather than sticking to one fixed method.
The practical benefits of online sessions are about fitting therapy into ordinary life. Online work can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that is most useful. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current session options before booking to know what is offered. Licensed professionals, including therapists, often use online sessions to help people weave counseling into busy days while focusing on tangible changes and clear next steps.
