Darice Dodd

Darice Dodd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with about 20 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting strain, and self-esteem struggles. Her tone is practical and respectful, aimed at people who want clear, usable steps toward feeling better.

She blends several approaches to fit each person's needs rather than using a single formula. That can include Trauma-Focused Therapy when trauma is central, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and move forward, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors. Sessions focus on developing skills, improving communication, and building on strengths.

Darice practices from an empathic, nonjudgmental stance and avoids stigmatizing labels. She works to create straightforward goals and a plan clients can try between sessions. Progress is reviewed together to adjust approaches as needed.

Her background includes graduate study at Georgia State University in professional counseling and marriage and family therapy. She has worked in settings that addressed substance use and mental health across age groups. This range of experience informs how she matches methods to what each person brings to therapy.

People who choose her often want practical tools alongside attention to emotions and relationships. If you want a collaborative, adaptive approach that focuses on real-life changes, she helps plan the steps and supports clients as they try them.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Trauma-Focused Therapy centers on addressing the effects of past harm. It helps people process traumatic memories and reduce how much those memories interfere with daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more secure ways of relating to others.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a while and then adapting it based on what’s helpful.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow quieter surroundings, or avoid travel time. Online work can include skill practice, emotion regulation exercises, and relationship communication work just as in-person therapy does, and the therapist will help tailor sessions to what works in the client’s everyday life.
