Darice Dodd, LPC

Darice Dodd, LPC, supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship struggles, and parenting concerns. She also helps with trauma and abuse, grief, ADHD, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. Darice brings almost 20 years of practice to her work and aims to create a respectful, compassionate space for people to talk through hard things.

She uses an eclectic style and mixes approaches to match each person’s needs. That can mean drawing on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking, attachment work to understand close relationships, and client-centered listening to help people find their own direction. She emphasizes strength-based and affirming work rather than labels.

Darice holds a Master of Science in Professional Counseling and an Education Specialist degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Georgia State University. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia and Missouri and brings many years of experience in mental health and substance use settings.

Sessions focus on practical steps people can take between meetings along with emotional processing in the room. Darice aims to tailor conversations and plans to what each person wants to accomplish. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where goals and methods are reviewed as work progresses.

People who choose her often want clear tools for coping plus a warm, steady therapist who listens. If someone is ready to take a first step toward change, Darice offers guidance, accountability, and practical techniques to move forward.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take small actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and behavior changes related to addictions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress or interfere with goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative conversation can include trying different techniques and checking what helps most over time.

The original profile does not specify which session formats Darice uses, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use therapy around work, school, or caregiving. Licensed professionals can also use session time to teach practical coping skills, set small homework steps, and track progress between meetings, all of which translate well to virtual care.
