About Darice
Darice Dodd is an LPC with two decades of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, parenting concerns, mood disorders, and many other life difficulties.
Background and approach
She practices from a flexible, client-centered perspective that draws on a range of evidence-informed methods to match care to each person’s needs. Darice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a strengths-based approach while working with individuals and families facing complex emotional and behavioral concerns.
Her training includes graduate degrees in counseling and marriage and family therapy, and she holds professional licensure in Georgia and Missouri. Darice’s work integrates therapies that address thoughts, emotions, attachment dynamics, and internal parts, and she adapts treatment plans to the goals clients bring to sessions.
She aims to create an empathic, nonjudgmental space where people can explore challenges, build coping skills, and pursue meaningful change at their own pace.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Internal Family Systems is a parts-based method that helps people identify and listen to different internal voices or roles to reduce internal conflict and heal from trauma or relational wounds. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values, increasing psychological flexibility, and learning skills to accept difficult emotions while committing to actions that align with what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy examines relationship patterns and emotional bonds to improve connection, safety, and communication in close relationships.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and the specific concerns a person brings, and together they will try strategies and adapt methods until a good fit is found. This collaborative exploration helps tailor work to each person’s needs rather than imposing a single method.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life gets busy, when in-person access is limited, or when people prefer remote formats for convenience and comfort. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured, goal-oriented work and ongoing support.
