About Darice
Darice Dodd is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with nearly 20 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship strains, grief, trauma, ADHD, and codependency concerns. Her voice is direct and compassionate, aimed at people who want practical changes and clearer next steps.
She uses a flexible approach rather than one strict method. Conversations focus on goals you name, and tools come from several evidence-based models. Sessions tend to be collaborative and paced to match what each person needs in the moment.
Darice draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered work. She adapts techniques from these approaches to help with emotions, behavior patterns, and relationship difficulties. The aim is to build coping skills and clearer choices for day-to-day life.
Her background includes graduate study in counseling and marriage and family therapy. Over two decades she has worked in a range of settings with adults, adolescents, and people facing substance use concerns. That varied experience informs how she shapes treatment plans and practical strategies.
People who choose her often want straightforward guidance and steady support while they make changes. She focuses on respect, sensitivity, and helping people use their own strengths to move forward.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions where shifting behavior matters more than changing every thought. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing different behaviors to produce clearer results. It is commonly used for anxiety, mood changes, and relationship stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop more secure ways of relating in close connections.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. That collaborative process leaves room to adjust the plan as progress is made.
The original biography did not list specific online session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try different ways of working - for example more skills-focused sessions or deeper exploratory conversations - and choose what feels most helpful for everyday life.
