Atasha Codginton, LMHC

Atasha Codginton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. Her style is warm and straightforward, focused on practical steps that fit into everyday life.

She believes clients know their own stories and brings that view into each session. Conversations aim to identify clear patterns and small changes that make day-to-day life easier. Sessions often mix problem-solving with chances to reflect on family history and recurring relationship patterns.

Atasha has three years of professional experience helping people navigate family problems, blended family concerns, and caregiver stress. She also addresses issues like codependency, jealousy, infidelity, and wounds from abandonment or family of origin problems. People bring worries about self-esteem, guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose.

Her approach can include client-centered listening to create space for feelings, emotionally-focused work to look at attachment pain, and solution-focused strategies to set immediate goals. She uses CBT techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors between sessions.

Sessions are offered in English and available through online formats. Her work aims to empower people to take practical steps, try new ways of coping, and build more stable relationships over time.

How her approaches work online

Atasha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT often focuses on practical exercises and small steps between sessions, which translate well to video or phone work. She also uses client-centered therapy to listen deeply and follow the client’s priorities, giving space for feelings and personal insights in every session.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. Sessions can shift over time, combining CBT techniques, emotionally-focused conversations, or solution-focused tasks as needed to meet changing needs.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues for relationship or family work. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit during a lunch break. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and ongoing notes between appointments. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or school commitments while keeping consistent therapeutic progress.
