About Darice
Darice Dodd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with about 20 years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, depression, and relationship concerns. She also supports clients facing grief, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, ADHD, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. Darice practices in Georgia and offers sessions in English, including to international clients.
Her style is direct and compassionate. She listens first and then works with each person to build practical steps they can try between sessions.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on real-life problems, coping skills, and clearer communication with others. She avoids one-size-fits-all methods and adjusts her approach to fit each person's needs. Darice uses a mix of evidence-informed tools to guide sessions.
She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions. She also brings client-centered methods to keep the person’s goals at the center of care.
Her background includes graduate study in counseling and marriage and family therapy, plus long experience in mental health and addiction settings. That experience informs practical strategies for anger, substance concerns, and coping with life transitions. Sessions can include talk therapy, skills training, and short-term behavior plans.
The focus is on concrete changes - better communication, managing strong emotions, and steps for healthier routines. Darice aims to empower people to make steady progress and handle setbacks with new tools.

Online approaches that focus on skills and relationships
Darice often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT emphasizes values and small actions that move a person toward a life they care about, which can help with anger and anxiety.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how past and present relationships shape emotional responses. That approach is useful when patterns in close relationships keep causing conflict or pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another frequent tool she uses to identify unhelpful thinking and practice new behaviors that reduce stress and improve mood.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust what they do based on what helps most. Darice aims to tailor interventions so they fit the client's life and priorities rather than forcing a single method.
Online therapy here can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for longer conversations and skills coaching. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when writing out thoughts feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy day and keep momentum between meetings.
