Darice Dodd, LPC

Darice Dodd is an LPC with about 20 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, grief, trauma, and intimacy-related concerns. She works with adults on issues like parenting, self-esteem, bipolar mood challenges, ADHD, and eating or body-image struggles. Darice aims to create a respectful, empathic space where people can begin to make changes that matter to them.

She uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. That means sessions focus on practical steps and real conversations tailored to each person's goals. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-informed work, client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral tools, and skills from dialectical behavior strategies.

In sessions she emphasizes strengths, clear skills, and solutions that fit daily life. Expect straightforward dialogue, goal-setting, and moments to practice new ways of relating to feelings and relationships. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats people with sensitivity and compassion.

Darice trained at Georgia State University and holds a Master of Science in Professional Counseling plus an Education Specialist degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. She is licensed as an LPC in Georgia and Missouri. Her background includes many settings where she worked with trauma, addictions, and family stress.

People often come to her when they are ready to make a change but aren’t sure where to start. She offers support, practical tools, and a steady, nonjudgmental approach to help people move toward clearer goals.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking steps that align with personal values; it can help with anxiety, stress, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and helps people change unhelpful interaction habits in close relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift patterns that keep problems going.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then suggest ways to blend methods that fit those goals. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use skills learned in therapy in their everyday settings and bring real-life examples into the session for discussion.
