Codi Kyle, LMFT

Codi Kyle is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Tennessee. She brings 15 years of clinical experience and a practical, goal-focused style to sessions. Codi draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and life transitions.

Codi earned a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville in 2009. Before that she worked in corporate human resources, which shaped her understanding of workplace pressure and career concerns. Her background includes work in outpatient care, substance abuse programs, and inpatient mental health settings.

Sessions are collaborative and focused on clear, reachable goals. She uses CBT to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and to build alternative ways of coping. Client-Centered Therapy guides the pace and priorities so the person’s concerns lead the work.

Codi also draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves. Solution-Focused Therapy is used to find practical steps that fit into daily life. This mix is often used for issues like self-esteem, burnout, communication problems, and managing chronic illness or caregiver stress.

People meet Codi for help with midlife shifts, divorce and separation, money worries, and struggles with guilt or shame. Her approach aims to be straightforward, compassionate, and oriented toward real-life change.

How Codi’s Approaches Work Online

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and builds practical strategies to change them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, addictive behaviors, and problems that interfere with daily functioning.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s priorities and pace. The therapist listens closely and follows the client’s goals while offering empathy and reflection to guide growth. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from painful stories and consider new perspectives about their lives.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Codi treats the selection as a collaboration and will adapt techniques based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they check what is helping and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video is useful for longer sessions and visual cues, phone calls can fit a quick check-in or lower bandwidth needs, and chat or messaging is helpful for short updates or when written reflection feels easier. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain momentum between sessions.
