Work with Joanne Coddington (EdD, LCMHC, LCAS)

About Me

Hello and welcome! Thank you for taking a few moments of your time to read about me. Whether you choose to work with me or another therapist, I truly hope you find what you are looking for.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist in the state of North Carolina, a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Wisconsin, and a Registered Yoga Teacher. I have over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Northcentral University, a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University, and Doctorate of Education in Community Counseling: Traumatology Cognate from Liberty University.

I sincerely believe that therapy should be a place of total acceptance and non-judgement where personal growth and change can be cultivated. My approach is eclectic and includes the following therapeutic approaches based on the needs of the individual: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. I have a passion for treating trauma and am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. In addition to those credentials, I am a Board Certified Telemental Health practitioner. As a yoga and meditation teacher, I have extra experience helping those trying to connect their mind-body-spirit! I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families dealing with a variety of issues to include depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, abuse, parenting, couples counseling, and military issues.

I commend you for taking the first step to begin counseling, and I know it can be intimidating! Recognizing you need extra support is already the step in the right direction and I am excited to help you become the best version of yourself!

Written by E.M. on Apr 21, 2022 after therapy with Joanne for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety

I love having Joanne as my therapist. She is honest with me and gives me a different perspective of things. She had been a pleasure to talk to and always takes what I say to heart. I use to not like the idea of even trying therapy until I started with her.

Joanne is truly the best therapist I've ever had. She has helped me with so many different things now and I am so grateful for her! The Better Help avenue is so much easier to use than traditional therapy routes, I get so much more out of it this way.

Great listener. Very intelligent conversation and asks good questions that make you think about your thought process or what you are doing. Very timely responses and it is very obvious that she reads everything you send her and she has an honest intention to make you feel better.

Written by J.E. on Jun 10, 2020 after therapy with Joanne for 2 weeks

I have been working with Joanne for just a few weeks and I feel like she totally understands me already. She does not push me which has happened in the past with different therapists which turned me off to therapy altogether. I really like Joanne’s approach. She asks questions, offers great insight and I really dig when she sends articles and worksheets. I have never experienced that before. It really helps when working on certain situations. I have been struggling with addiction issues for a while. Joanne’s knowledge in this area is so helpful because I have a lot of questions and need help understanding what I need to do to stay sober.

Joanne has been amazing! She's helped me so much. I felt stuck in my recovery until talking with her but now I feel like I'm making progress again with her help. She pushes me exactly the way I need and does so in a way that I never feel unsafe or judged. Thank you, Joanne!
