About Darice
Darice Dodd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with about 20 years of experience helping people cope with anxiety, stress, depression, addictions, and relationship difficulties. She works with clients who face grief, trauma, parenting challenges, ADHD, and questions about intimacy and self-esteem. Her tone is straightforward and supportive for people seeking practical help.
She mixes several approaches to fit each person's needs rather than using one fixed method. That means sessions can include skills practice, problem-solving, and conversations that focus on values and relationships.
Background and approach
She aims to create a respectful and nonjudgmental space where people feel heard. Her background includes graduate study in counseling and family therapy. She has worked in multiple settings across the years and is licensed to practice in Georgia.
That experience shaped a flexible, strengths-focused style that honors each person's goals. In sessions she listens for what matters most to the client and then builds small, achievable steps. Therapy can look like learning coping skills, trying new behavior patterns, or talking through past hurts to reduce their hold on daily life.
Parents often get help with communication and setting boundaries. She takes an affirming approach to identity and relationship questions and avoids stigmatizing labels. For people managing addictions, mood changes, or the fallout from trauma, she offers steady, practical support.
If someone is ready to make changes, she helps map the path forward.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by shifting attention away from unhelpful avoidance and toward meaningful living.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life changes by teaching practical skills to manage symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may mix ACT, CBT, and other relational or client-centered techniques to suit the situation.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging can work well for brief check-ins or for people who prefer typing. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and access consistent support from licensed professionals.
