Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Cody Broussard commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in his online practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and respect for each person’s perspective; it supports emotional processing and self-directed growth by creating a collaborative, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship.

He also incorporates Motivational Interviewing when clients are weighing change or facing ambivalence. Motivational Interviewing uses supportive questions and reflection to help clarify values and strengthen motivation for change, which can be useful for addictions, behavior change, and goal-directed work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Cody works collaboratively with clients and other licensed professionals to explore goals, preferences, and practical needs, then tailors techniques to fit each person. Online sessions - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to access consistent care around work, family, and life commitments. These options provide flexibility so clients can engage in therapy in ways that fit their schedules and daily routines.
