Darice Dodd, LPC

Darice Dodd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with about 20 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship struggles, grief, trauma, and parenting concerns. She practices in Georgia and works with issues that include ADHD, bipolar concerns, intimacy, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue. Darice mixes practical tools with respectful listening so people can try new ways of coping and feeling better. She trained at Georgia State University and holds a Master of Science in Professional Counseling and an Educational Specialist degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Her background includes a wide range of clinical settings and work with people affected by substance use and trauma. Darice draws on several approaches rather than a single method and adapts her work to each person's needs. In sessions she focuses on clear, usable strategies alongside deeper exploration of relationships and patterns. That might mean learning behavioral skills, examining how thoughts influence actions, or looking at attachment patterns in important relationships. She aims to keep conversations respectful, strengths-based, and free of stigmatizing labels. Darice describes her style as empathic and nonjudgmental. She seeks to create an environment where people feel heard and can set practical goals. Progress is paced to fit the person's life and priorities. If someone is ready to make a change, she supports steps toward clearer thinking, healthier habits, and stronger relationships. People are invited to begin by completing the site's matching process and scheduling a first session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, mood concerns, and coping strategies. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and can help with intimacy issues, trust, and relationship repair.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they will try approaches that fit the client's needs and adjust the plan as progress and life demands change.

Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow a shorter check-in during a break, or remove the time needed to travel. Many people find that working by video or phone lets them practice skills in real life between sessions and keeps momentum when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment work for remote sessions to focus on clear steps and usable exercises rather than lengthy theory.
