About Darice
Darice Dodd helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship struggles. She also supports those dealing with grief, trauma, parenting challenges, eating and body image concerns, ADHD, and other life changes. Darice works in Georgia and brings about 20 years of clinical experience to conversations about coping and recovery.
Her approach is practical and direct. She uses a mix of methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered listening to build skills and solve problems.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, with straightforward strategies for day-to-day life. Darice values a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere. People can expect a calm presence and an emphasis on strengths.
She avoids labels and seeks to tailor conversations to each person’s needs and goals. In therapy she draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice their values and take committed action. Attachment-based ideas inform work on relationships and closeness.
Dialectical and emotion-focused tools help when feelings feel overwhelming or intense. Darice holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential, LPC, and has worked with a broad range of concerns across community and clinical settings. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging, and supports English-speaking and international clients.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions by teaching simple exercises to stay present and move toward meaningful goals. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build healthier ways of relating and trusting others, which can aid couples and intimacy-related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and swap it for more useful habits; it is often practical for depression, anxiety, and coping skills training.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped in the past. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan over time based on what actually helps.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let people keep face-to-face connection without travel, while phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for people who prefer writing, need quick support between sessions, or want to reflect before replying. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules and to continue consistent care across distances.
