Darice Dodd, LPC

Darice Dodd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with about 20 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, trauma and grief. People also come to her for parenting strain, ADHD challenges, self-esteem and body image worries. She lists jealousy among relationship-related issues she addresses.

Her style blends methods to fit each person. She prefers plain talk and practical steps, not labels. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client and learning skills to handle daily life. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a strengths-based perspective.

In practice she draws from cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take committed steps. Attachment-based ideas guide work on close relationships and patterns that repeat. She also uses client-centered listening to make space for the client's experience.

Darice has a Master of Science in Professional Counseling and an Educational Specialist degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Georgia State University. She has worked across mental health and substance use settings and has experience with trauma, addictions, and family conflict.

If someone is ready to make changes, she focuses on clear goals and a plan that fits real life. The work is collaborative and paced to what the person can manage. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches inform online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns that keep repeating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It works well for anxiety, mood problems, and many practical skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people try different ways of relating to partners or close others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the client to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and style. That might mean blending elements from ACT, CBT, and attachment work and adjusting as progress is made.

The biography does not specify online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people work with a licensed professional who understands relationship and jealousy concerns even if they live in another state or country. Practical benefits include scheduling flexibility and ways to practice skills between meetings, but confirm which session types the therapist currently offers.
