Atasha Codginton, LMHC

Atasha Codginton is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in New York who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns. She works with people feeling overwhelmed by parenting challenges, relationship strain, or low self-esteem. Atasha emphasizes each person's strengths and respects their own knowledge of their life.

She uses a collaborative, respectful style in sessions. Atasha listens first and helps clients name practical steps they can try between meetings. She draws on client-centered ideas to make space for a person's story and on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior.

Emotionally-focused ideas inform her work on relationship and family concerns so emotions can be understood and expressed in clearer ways. Solution-focused tools help keep therapy goal-oriented and concrete, especially when time is limited or a quick plan is needed.

Her experience includes helping parents, caregivers, and people navigating blended family dynamics, abandonment issues, infidelity, jealousy, and family-of-origin concerns. She also supports people dealing with obsessive thoughts, compulsions, guilt, shame, and multicultural stressors.

Atasha aims to support and empower people as they take steps toward change. She encourages small experiments in daily life and checks in on what works and what needs adjusting. This practical, strengths-based approach guides her work with each person.

How therapeutic approaches shape online work

Atasha uses client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s own perspective and strengths. This means sessions begin with careful listening and reflection so clients feel understood, and then move to actions the client wants to try. It fits well for people who want a conversational, respectful process focused on their priorities.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going and teaches specific strategies to change them. CBT can help with anxiety, stress, obsessive thinking, and behaviors that get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. That conversation guides whether the focus leans more toward emotion-focused, cognitive tools, or brief solution strategies.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not detailed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when life gets hectic. It can also let people try different ways of working without changing therapists, so practical fit and comfort can be tested early in the process.
