About Cody

Cody Granda is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Colorado who helps people struggling with depression and related challenges find steadier ground. She focuses on practical shifts in thinking and behavior so people can feel more balanced in daily life. Cody aims to help clients recognize strengths, build self-trust, and choose actions that match their values.

She often works with people who live with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, difficult eating patterns, and relationship strain. Cody names eating and food-related issues and self-love as particular areas of focus. Her approach emphasizes small, manageable changes rather than sweeping fixes, and she looks for what is already going well to build on it.

Cody uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address mood swings, unhelpful thinking, and emotion regulation. These methods are applied in straightforward, skills-based work: noticing thought patterns, testing new behaviors, and practicing ways to tolerate emotions without reacting in harmful ways.

Her background includes work across levels of care for eating concerns and co-occurring conditions, such as outpatient services, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, and residential programs. Cody also holds experience using animal-assisted approaches in therapeutic settings and has training that supports that work.

She combines practical tools with attention to gratitude, humor, and hope so clients can move toward more authentic and peaceful lives. To start, Cody asks new clients to complete a brief questionnaire and schedule based on her availability.

How CBT and DBT Fit into Online Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change how someone feels. It is commonly used for depression, anxiety, and eating-related patterns by breaking problems into small, actionable steps.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving how people relate to others. It emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication skills to reduce chaotic patterns and mood swings.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they try tools and adjust the plan over time so sessions feel useful and relevant.

Confirm the specific online session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills in day-to-day settings. It also can reduce travel time and help maintain continuity of care when life is unpredictable.
