About Kym

Dr. Kym Codallos is an LCSW, CSW with 20 years of experience practicing in Wyoming and nearby states. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, parenting challenges, and ADHD. She also addresses family of origin issues and a range of related life stresses.

She prefers straightforward conversation. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that carry over from childhood and the family people grew up in. She helps clients notice unhelpful routines and test different ways of responding in everyday life.

Her work draws on client-centered principles that prioritize the client's perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change thought patterns that make stress and anxiety worse. Dialectical behavior skills and mindfulness practices are used when people need tools to manage strong emotions.

Practical problem solving is part of the sessions. For example, parenting discussions include concrete strategies for routines, boundaries, and communication. For relationship issues she focuses on clear communication habits and repairing repeated conflicts.

Dr. Codallos has experience with added complexities such as adoption and foster care concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and substance use issues. People often come to address patterns that began in their families of origin and to try new ways of relating in their current lives.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the client's perspective and shaping sessions around what matters most to them. It helps when someone needs a place to talk through values, choices, and how family patterns affect daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep stress and anxiety going. It involves simple experiments and homework to test different ways of thinking and acting. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with the client to decide which approaches fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together. Session format options are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session choices before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins on stressful days, or avoid travel time. Talk with the therapist about which session length and rhythm would best fit everyday life.
