Darice Dodd, LPC

Darice Dodd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with about 20 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship struggles, and parenting challenges. She practices in Georgia and supports people dealing with trauma, mood concerns like depression and bipolar, and intimacy or self-esteem issues. Darice also works with clients facing ADHD, compassion fatigue, eating and body-image concerns, and the impacts of aging or chronic illness.

Her style is direct and adaptable. She mixes approaches to fit each person rather than using a single method for everyone. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical steps, and building strengths people can use between meetings. Darice emphasizes respect, empathy, and a nonjudgmental tone throughout the process.

She draws on relationship-focused therapies and attachment ideas to address how people connect and communicate. Cognitive tools help change unhelpful thought patterns, and acceptance-based practices support coping with hard feelings and life changes. The work often includes talking through patterns, practicing new interaction skills, and trying small behavioral experiments.

Darice’s background includes graduate degrees in counseling and marriage and family therapy, and long experience in mental health and addictions care. That breadth lets her tailor plans for individuals facing complex or overlapping concerns. She aims to empower people to make sustainable changes and improve relationships.

If someone wants to begin, Darice guides a brief intake and goal-setting so sessions are focused and practical from the start.

How these approaches can work online

Imago Relationship Therapy focuses on improving how partners communicate and connect by guiding conversations that reveal underlying needs and patterns. It can help couples and individuals who want clearer communication and more emotional safety. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and to take actions aligned with their values; it helps with anxiety, depression, and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns affect current relationships and helps people form more steady ways of relating; it is useful for intimacy, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Darice will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She often blends techniques so sessions meet relationship, emotional, and practical needs at the same time.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling, fewer travel demands, and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm current options before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep momentum between appointments and to practice new skills in real-life contexts.
