About Cody Granda
Cody Granda is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who supports people working to move away from extreme thinking and toward greater balance in daily life. She focuses on the ways thought patterns and behaviors influence relationships, work functioning, self-esteem, and body image, and she helps clients untangle rules and habits they created to feel in control. Drawing on experience with anxiety, depression, stress, eating and food-related issues, addictions, relationship and family concerns, compassion fatigue, and LGBT-related challenges, she works to restore a sense of personal agency and authenticity.
Cody blends practical skill-building with strengths-based exploration, helping clients notice what is already going well while addressing areas that cause distress. She emphasizes gratitude, self-compassion, increased hope, and finding more ease and laughter in life as complements to therapeutic work. Her specialty in eating disorder treatment reflects extensive work with body image, co-occurring disorders, and the specific thoughts and behaviors that maintain disordered eating.
Her clinical background includes certification in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), training in approaches that teach emotion regulation, grounding skills, and strategies to interrupt harmful behavior patterns, and an Expert Level Life Coach credential. As a PATH certified instructor she also incorporates equine-assisted techniques when appropriate, using horses to provide real-time feedback about emotions, boundaries, and interpersonal dynamics. Cody holds a Master of Human Services with a specialization in Marriage, Couples, and Family Counseling from Capella University and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Art from the University of Wisconsin-Stout, and she has provided care across outpatient, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, and residential levels of care.

Skills-Based Approaches and Online Therapy
The online setting allows therapists to deliver focused, skills-oriented work using evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching practical techniques for problem solving, mood management, and breaking cycles that contribute to anxiety, depression, or disordered eating. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness so clients can better manage intense emotions and reduce impulsive patterns that harm relationships or wellbeing.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. A licensed professional will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve. This collaborative planning helps tailor sessions to what matters most to the client.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support, practice new skills between sessions, and maintain continuity of care even when life gets busy or travel is limited.
