About Darice
Darice Dodd is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Georgia with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, grief, parenting concerns, ADHD, mood issues, and family-of-origin problems. She also addresses intimacy, eating concerns, compassion fatigue, and the effects of trauma and abuse.
Her style mixes several methods rather than sticking to one model. She explains ideas plainly and helps clients notice patterns that come from their family of origin. Sessions focus on practical steps, learning coping skills, and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Conversations are respectful and direct, with attention to what a person wants to change next.
Darice draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, client-centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She moves between these tools to match a person's goals and pace. That means some sessions emphasize problem-solving and skills, while others look at emotional patterns from early relationships.
Her background includes long experience in mental health and substance use work and training in marriage and family therapy concepts. She uses that experience to help people understand how past family roles still shape current reactions and choices. Practical strategies for communication, boundaries, and emotion regulation are common parts of her work.
People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation about goals, clear suggestions for homework, and ongoing adjustments based on progress. The focus is on learning workable changes rather than labels or long lectures.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where someone wants clearer direction. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that began in early relationships and how they show up now. It can help with intimacy issues, attachment concerns, and family-of-origin patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and practicing concrete behavior changes, which suits anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day problems.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as needed. That collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasize skills training, emotional exploration, or both.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists generally use those practical benefits to help people sustain regular sessions alongside work, parenting, or other responsibilities.
