How her approaches translate to online care

Dr. Codallos uses mindfulness therapy to help people build simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and ground strong emotions. These practices are often taught in short, repeatable exercises that can be practiced between sessions. Client-centered therapy is a collaborative way of working where the conversation follows the person’s priorities and the therapist reflects understanding to help clarify goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change how problems feel day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their concerns, goals, and preferences, and together they’ll try methods that fit those needs. This collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins on a break, and let people use practices learned in session at home. Licensed professionals can guide how to adapt mindfulness exercises and CBT tools to the context of remote sessions so they remain practical and usable between appointments.
