About Atasha
Atasha Codginton uses a client-centered approach to guide people through stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family conflict, and parenting challenges. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in New York with three years of professional experience. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, focused on helping people use their strengths to move forward.
In sessions she listens first, then works with clients to clarify goals. She often blends cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
Emotionally-focused ideas help when relationship feelings are hard to name or connect with actions. She supports parents who face everyday pressures and the added demands of parenting children with special needs. Family of origin issues, blended family challenges, and caregiver stress are among the concerns she addresses.
She also helps people cope with shame, guilt, jealousy, infidelity, and abandonment wounds. Practical problem solving is part of her work. Solution-focused methods are used to set small, concrete steps between sessions.
This makes progress easier to notice and keeps work manageable for busy lives. Sessions are offered in English and can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. The therapist aims to create a steady, respectful space where clients choose the pace and focus of change.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on understanding each person's experience and building on their strengths. Online sessions using this approach start with open listening and then follow the client's priorities, which can help with anxiety, self-esteem, and family concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In remote sessions CBT uses short exercises and homework to change patterns that keep stress and worry active, which can be helpful for anxiety and obsessive concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or combine methods based on goals, comfort, and what seems to help. That way the plan can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and related conversation. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio-only check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, notes between sessions, or daily problem solving without a full session. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
