Cody Hedrick , LCSW

Cody Hedrick is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who brings 11 years of clinical experience to his work with individuals and families. Based in New Mexico, he has concentrated much of his practice on supporting children and families affected by attachment difficulties, including Reactive Attachment Disorder, while also providing therapy to adults across a wide range of life challenges.

He has collaborated with child welfare systems to teach parenting skills and to address struggles that persist into adulthood. His work has included support for LGBTQ+ clients, people coping with anxiety and depression, those facing suicidal thoughts, and individuals managing chronic or declining health conditions such as long-term illness and cancer. He also addresses issues related to self-esteem, addictions, grief, family and relationship conflicts, intimacy, sleep problems, parenting concerns, career and life transitions, and compassion fatigue.

Cody draws on a blend of clinical approaches including attachment-based methods, existential perspectives, strengths-based and person-centered techniques, narrative practices, and mindfulness or meditation exercises. He integrates practical self-care tools and holistic strategies to help clients build resilience and pursue sustainable, personally meaningful goals. Throughout his work he emphasizes collaboration, helping people discover solutions and pathways that fit their values and circumstances.

Approach-Focused Online Care with an Emphasis on Attachment and Mindfulness

Cody uses attachment-based work to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this approach helps clients and families understand bonding, trust, and relational responses so they can build more secure connections. He also employs client-centered therapy, which centers the client’s own perspective and strengths so that therapy is collaborative and paced according to individual needs; this method is useful for improving self-esteem, decision making, and personal growth. Mindfulness therapy is woven into sessions as a practical toolset - simple awareness and breathing practices support emotional regulation and coping with stress, anxiety, or chronic health concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cody partners with each person to identify what methods fit their goals, values, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so care remains collaborative and responsive. He helps clients set achievable steps toward change while honoring their lived experience.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limits. These options make it easier to maintain consistent contact, practice new skills between sessions, and access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations.
