Darice Dodd, LPC

Darice Dodd is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with almost 20 years of clinical experience in Georgia and Missouri. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, and a range of other concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Darice draws on several evidence-informed approaches to guide sessions. She uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify thought patterns that feed anger and anxiety. She also works from attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills appear alongside client-centered listening to build practical coping skills.

Her style is flexible rather than one-size-fits-all. She listens first, then helps set clear goals and small steps toward change. In practice that means learning boundary and communication skills, emotion regulation tools, and strategies to reduce impulsive reactions. Work can include addressing family roles, parenting stress, or relationship friction when those issues relate to anger or other concerns.

Darice has training in substance use and addictions work and brings that experience into cases where anger and substance use overlap. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, body image and eating issues, caregiving stress, and the fallout from loss or major life changes. Her background includes graduate degrees in counseling and marriage and family therapy from Georgia State University.

People who are ready to look at how anger shows up in daily life will find straightforward tools and a steady therapeutic approach. She encourages practical steps that help reduce reactivity, improve communication, and restore better control over impulses and relationships.
