About Darice

Darice Dodd is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with two decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma, grief, mood concerns and ADHD.

Background and approach

She brings a broad clinical background working across settings with individuals and families to address challenges such as parenting struggles, intimacy issues, self-esteem, eating concerns, bipolar symptoms, and compassion fatigue. Darice also works with a range of related issues including abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, and communication or commitment problems.

Her style is adaptable and client-centered, drawing on several evidence-based therapies to match each person's needs. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and an affirming stance while avoiding stigmatizing labels, and she frames treatment from a strengths-based perspective.

Darice blends approaches to create individualized plans focused on the client’s goals and life context, aiming to support practical coping skills and deeper relational or emotional change. Licensed in Georgia and Missouri, she offers therapeutic support in English and accepts international clients.

With training in multiple modalities and twenty years in the field, Darice guides clients through life transitions and complex concerns while encouraging empowerment and durable coping strategies.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and learning flexible strategies to accept difficult thoughts and emotions while taking actions that matter. It can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and challenges that interfere with daily functioning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and developing practical skills to change them; it is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially useful for intense emotional reactions and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Darice collaborates with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and personal style. She draws from these approaches to build a plan that balances symptom relief with deeper relational and behavioral changes, and she adjusts the work as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for differing schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access therapy from different locations and allow clients to choose interaction styles that suit their daily life while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
