About Darice

Darice Dodd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with roughly 20 years working in mental health and addictions. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports concerns like addiction, ADHD, eating and bipolar challenges, and LGBT-related care. Darice practices in Georgia and works with clients in English, including people outside the U.S.

Her style is flexible and practical. She uses ideas from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based work to help people change unhelpful patterns. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ways of working to strengthen relationships and build trust. Sessions focus on concrete skills and real-life problem solving, mixed with time to talk through emotions and history.

Darice aims to match therapy to each person's needs rather than use a single method for everyone. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a strengths-based outlook. Conversations are framed to reduce stigma and to support realistic next steps clients can try between meetings.

Her background includes graduate degrees in counseling and marriage and family therapy from Georgia State University and long experience across settings that included substance use and trauma care. She holds licensure as an LPC in Georgia and Missouri.

If someone is getting started they can expect an initial plan tailored to their goals, clear practical tools to try, and ongoing adjustments based on progress and preference.

How therapy approaches shape online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and learning new behaviors to reduce symptoms like depression, panic, or persistent worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and seeks to improve connection and trust, which can help with intimacy, family strain, and attachment concerns. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. That conversation guides a collaborative plan that may blend methods so it fits the client's needs and comfort. The practical benefit of online therapy is that it can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Online meetings can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed, and help maintain continuity during moves or schedule changes. This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Licensed professionals generally aim to tailor session length and scheduling to match daily routines and responsibilities rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all rhythm.
