About Darice
Darice Dodd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with about 20 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, relationship struggles, trauma and grief. She also supports clients dealing with parenting challenges, ADHD, self-esteem and intimacy-related worries.
Darice keeps conversation direct and practical. She listens and uses a mix of approaches to fit each person rather than one fixed method. Sessions focus on real-life goals such as better communication, coping skills for strong emotions, or clearer routines around substance use and recovery.
Her background includes graduate training in counseling and marriage and family therapy. That experience informs a flexible approach that looks at individual patterns and relationship dynamics. She favors clear tools you can use between sessions, like behavioral experiments and emotion regulation strategies.
Darice describes her style as respectful, empathic, and nonjudgmental. She aims to build on a person’s strengths while addressing the problems that feel most urgent. Her work often includes attention to attachment patterns, coping with life changes, and rebuilding after trauma.
Practical matters are part of the conversation too. She helps people set achievable steps and tracks progress over time. If someone wants to work on mood, grief, parenting, or addiction concerns, she frames the plan around the client’s goals and lifestyle.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by focusing on meaningful behavior rather than struggling with every thought. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and replaces unhelpful patterns with realistic, goal-oriented steps. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and managing mood or behavior changes.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose techniques that match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a few tools, watching what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as the profile does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, not needing travel time, or choosing an audio call when video is difficult. The focus remains on consistent practice, learning coping skills, and tracking progress over time with support from a licensed professional.
