About Darice

Darice Dodd is an LPC with about 20 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, grief, and parenting strain. She works with issues such as trauma and abuse, mood concerns like depression and bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and intimacy-related struggles. She also supports people facing body image, caregiver stress, and blended family or adoption-related concerns.

Her approach is flexible and practical. She adapts methods to each person's needs and focuses on strengths. Sessions are respectful and nonjudgmental, with an emphasis on listening and helping people set clear, achievable goals.

Darice draws on a mix of therapies to fit the situation. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and client-centered work to keep the conversation focused on the person's experience.

Over two decades she has worked across settings with people facing substance use and mental health challenges. Her background includes graduate degrees in counseling and marriage and family therapy. She combines that training with hands-on experience to support practical change and better coping skills.

Darice frames therapy as a collaboration. She helps people notice patterns, practice new responses, and try small changes between sessions. If you want help with money or financial stress as part of life strain, she includes those issues alongside other concerns when building a plan.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and manage symptoms such as anxiety or mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals and try methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted based on what helps most.

The biography does not list specific online formats for sessions, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand. It can also let people join from different time zones when international arrangements are needed. Licensed professionals tailor online methods to match goals and real-life routines rather than assuming a single way of working.
