About Darice

Darice Dodd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 20 years of practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and parenting challenges. She also supports people dealing with trauma, ADHD, body image and many other life changes.

Her style is flexible and down-to-earth. She combines approaches to match each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method. Sessions focus on practical steps, skills for coping, and honest conversation about what matters to the client.

Darice uses tools drawn from cognitive-behavioral work, acceptance-focused strategies, attachment-based ideas, and person-centered care. She aims to help people notice patterns, build new habits, and repair strained relationships. The goal is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes.

Her background includes graduate degrees from Georgia State University in professional counseling and marriage and family therapy. She holds LPC credentials in Georgia and Missouri. Over two decades she has worked in addiction and mental health settings and with a wide range of concerns and ages.

People who choose her can expect respectful, affirming conversation and a plan shaped around their goals. To begin, clients follow the site process to match with her and schedule the first appointment. She accepts English-speaking clients and can work with international clients as arranged.

How her approaches translate to online work

Darice commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy along with cognitive-behavioral techniques. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in those thoughts. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and helps people build healthier ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior and is often used for anxiety, depression, and anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences with each person and help choose methods that fit those needs. That makes therapy a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because formats are not listed here. Many people find online therapy helpful for fitting sessions into busy lives, keeping appointments during travel, or choosing a shorter check-in when full sessions arent needed. Talk with her about timing, length, and how sessions will be scheduled so they suit everyday routines.
