About George
George "Rico" Bodin uses a practical, person-focused style to help people manage stress and anxiety. He is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with ten years of experience. He keeps sessions direct and conversational so people can talk about what matters most to them.
Rico helps people who are struggling with addictions and mood concerns. He also works with issues linked to relationships, LGBTQ matters, and common life stressors like work and money.
Background and approach
In sessions he listens first, then helps people spot patterns and try new ways of responding. His approach draws on methods that emphasize values, behavior change, and emotional understanding. He uses ideas from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and take meaningful action.
Attachment-based ideas guide work on trust, closeness, and repeating relationship patterns. Rico aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. He helps people break big problems into small steps they can practice between sessions.
This often includes simple skill building for handling strong feelings, reducing avoidance, and improving communication. Sessions may involve talking through difficult events, trying new ways to act, and setting goals that reflect personal values. He works in English and offers several online formats for flexibility.
People who want a collaborative, down-to-earth approach often find his style accessible and goal oriented.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through clear exercises and practice between sessions. It is often used for anxiety, mood problems, and impulse control. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and trust, and it can help with relationship worries, abandonment, and loneliness.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may blend elements from different approaches and adjust over time as progress is made.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people meet face to face; phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit quick updates, coaching between sessions, or people who prefer writing. These options provide flexibility while keeping focus on practical skills, values-based goals, and behavior changes that can be practiced in everyday life.
