About Darice
Darice Dodd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, parenting challenges, relationship struggles, trauma, grief, ADHD, and self-esteem concerns. Parents often contact her for help with family conflict, blended family issues, and the stresses of raising children.
Her approach is practical and flexible. She listens first, then uses methods that fit each person rather than one fixed model.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on realistic steps people can use at home, at work, and with their children. Darice keeps language plain and direct so worried parents can act on ideas quickly. She draws on therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, client-centered techniques, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
These tools are mixed to meet the needs of the moment and the goals a parent brings to sessions. Expect a collaborative plan that names goals and simple strategies to try between visits. Darice has practiced in Georgia for many years and brings broad experience across mental health and addiction concerns.
She prioritizes respect, sensitivity, and a nonjudgmental tone when talking about parenting struggles. Progress is tracked in small, practical steps so families can notice change over weeks. People who choose her often want clear, believable next steps rather than long lectures.
She works with each person to tailor the pace, techniques, and homework to what fits their life and schedule.

Therapeutic approaches for online parenting support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and take small actions toward those values, even when strong emotions are present. It can be useful for parents managing anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior and helps people repair patterns that cause distance or conflict in family life. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and working at the client's pace, which is helpful when parents need a nonjudgmental space to talk through hard decisions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Darice will collaborate with each person to choose and adapt methods based on your goals, preferences, and day-to-day reality. She mixes these approaches so sessions fit your situation rather than forcing a single technique onto every problem.
Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls let you use visual cues for family scenes and role-play, while phone sessions can work when internet bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging provide short check-ins, quick problem-solving, or support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and to keep momentum between visits.
