About Darice
Darice Dodd is an experienced licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with nearly 20 years working in mental health and addictions.
Background and approach
She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and a wide range of related issues including eating concerns, bipolar symptoms, and compassion fatigue.
Her background also includes work with addiction and co-occurring conditions and additional focus areas such as attachment difficulties, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and communication or control issues. Her therapeutic style blends evidence-informed methods to fit each person's needs rather than using a single formula.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside acceptance and commitment strategies, attachment-based ideas, client-centered principles, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to shape collaborative treatment plans. Darice emphasizes a respectful, empathic, and strength-based stance that seeks practical coping tools and clearer relational patterns.
She accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, with scheduling and subscription details determined by location and therapist availability.
Approaches for Online Therapy and How They Help
Darice commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) when working with clients online. CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaching practical strategies to shift those patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. ACT emphasizes values-based action and learning to accept difficult emotions while committing to meaningful life directions, a helpful fit for coping with chronic stress, grief, or life transitions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with each client to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques and will adapt interventions over time to better match needs and priorities. This collaborative stance helps tailor evidence-informed tools to the person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.
Online formats offer practical flexibility: video calls let clients engage in face-to-face dialogue, phone sessions provide a low-tech option, and live chat or text-based messaging allow shorter, real-time check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access licensed professionals from different locations while preserving the focus on practical coping skills and relational patterns.
