About Kym

She focuses on common and often painful problems such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, parenting concerns, and ADHD. Her style is straightforward and respectful. She listens first, then tailors conversations and plans to fit each person.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be practical and clear so people can try small changes between meetings. Her background includes work with a wide range of life challenges, including adoption and foster care topics, caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, blended family issues, substance use concerns, and divorce or separation. That variety informs how she adapts tools to different situations.
Dr. Codallos uses narrative ideas to help people reframe their stories and see alternative paths forward. She also draws on client-centered work that centers the person's goals, plus cognitive behavioral skills and mindfulness techniques when those fit the need.
Dialectical behavior therapy tools may be used to build emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Conversations are collaborative. The therapist and client set goals together and pick strategies that match the client’s life and values.
The tone is warm, direct, and goal-oriented to help people move through difficult moments at their own pace.

Online session options
Using narrative and skills work in online sessions
Dr. Codallos commonly combines Narrative Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online care. Narrative Therapy helps people examine the stories they tell about themselves and find alternative, more useful ways to understand their experiences. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior to reduce symptoms like anxiety and stress.She also draws on client-centered principles, which means therapy is shaped around each person’s goals and values. Finding the best approach is a team effort - the therapist will discuss options, try different techniques, and adjust plans based on what the client finds useful and doable.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit quick updates or step-by-step coaching into a busy day. These options aim to make it simpler to keep continuity of care and use therapeutic tools in everyday life.
