About Kym
Dr. Kym Codallos brings two decades of social work experience to her practice. She holds licensure as a clinical social worker and works from a practical, respectful stance. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, parenting concerns, and ADHD-related struggles.
Her work aims to make therapy straightforward and person-centered. Sessions focus on clear goals and everyday skills you can try between meetings. She adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation instead of using one fixed method.
Kym uses methods that help people change thinking patterns, manage intense emotions, and build present-moment awareness. She also draws on motivational techniques to help people find what matters most to them. These approaches are mixed to meet the needs of each person she sees.
People come for help with a wide range of problems, including adoption and foster care questions, aging and geriatric issues, blended family concerns, body image, cancer-related stress, caregiving strain, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication breakdowns, divorce, domestic violence, and substance concerns.
Sessions are shaped by respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She encourages small, practical steps and gives space for honest conversation. The first step is often the hardest, and the aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and tailoring sessions to what matters to the person. It helps people clarify goals and feel heard while they work through problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful patterns. This approach often helps with anxiety, stress, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills to handle strong emotions and improve interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for intense relationship conflict and regulation struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean trying one approach first or combining methods as goals evolve.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life, which can make it simpler to keep a regular routine. Online visits can reduce travel time and lower the barrier to checking in during a stressful week. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm available online and in-person options before booking so you can choose what best fits your schedule and daily life.
