About Darice
Darice Dodd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship struggles. She works with concerns that include trauma and abuse, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and self-esteem. Her tone is direct and supportive for people looking for practical help.
She favors an individualized approach rather than one size fits all. Conversations focus on what matters most to each person, with straightforward strategies and skills to try between sessions.
Background and approach
She draws on cognitive and behavioral tools to help change unhelpful patterns and on client-centered work to strengthen personal resources. Her background includes graduate study in counseling and family therapy and long experience in mental health and substance use settings. That experience informs work with mood challenges, intimacy issues, and complicated life changes.
She also addresses issues like body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and blended family concerns. Sessions aim to build practical coping skills, clearer communication, and more stable routines. When trauma or attachment issues come up, the focus is on increasing safety and trust in relationships.
For people facing addiction or compulsive behaviors, therapy balances skills training with support for motivation and relapse prevention. Darice adapts methods to each person’s needs and preferences. She encourages realistic goals and steady progress.
People who choose her work with a clinician who emphasizes respect, empathy, and a strengths-based outlook.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying specific techniques to change behaviors and moods. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current bonds and communication, which can help with intimacy, relationship conflicts, and trauma-related trust issues.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, history, and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That plan can be adjusted as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face when needed, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can suit brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
