About George
George "Rico" Bodin uses evidence-informed, goal-oriented methods to help clients manage stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBTQ+ concerns, relationship challenges, and depression. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside complementary approaches to support people in recognizing unhelpful patterns, developing practical coping skills, and moving toward clearer values and daily habits.
Background and approach
With a decade of clinical experience, he emphasizes collaboration and skill building rather than one-size-fits-all interventions. As a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC, FL LMHC MH19099), he creates a respectful space where clients can explore difficult emotions like shame, guilt, grief, and isolation.
His work also touches on issues such as attachment struggles, communication problems, life purpose, and recovery from trauma. He blends acceptance-based strategies with strengths-focused, client-centered techniques to help individuals make sustainable changes.
Rico frames therapy as a partnership: he listens for what matters most to each person and tailors sessions to address impulsivity, caregiver stress, body image, financial worry, and other lived concerns. He welcomes those ready to take practical steps toward more effective coping and a clearer sense of direction.
Therapeutic approaches for online healing and change
George "Rico" Bodin often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, teaching concrete skills for managing anxiety, mood symptoms, and impulsive habits. He also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values, accept difficult internal experiences, and take committed steps toward meaningful goals.The right approach is typically determined together. He treats therapy as a collaborative process, listening to each person's concerns and testing strategies that fit their goals and daily life. Over time, techniques can be adjusted based on what proves most helpful for coping, relationships, and long-term wellbeing.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit consistent work into busy schedules, allow for different communication styles, and support continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical.
