About George
George "Rico" Bodin uses straightforward, practical therapy to help people handle stress, anxiety, addictions, and relationship concerns. He is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, practicing in Florida with a decade of experience. He aims to make sessions a calm place to talk and work toward change.
He combines evidence-based methods with a warm, person-focused stance. That means listening first, then trying tools that match each person’s needs. Sessions often include strategies for managing strong emotions and improving daily routines.
Background and approach
Rico helps with depression, mood struggles, and problems tied to attachment and abandonment. He also supports people dealing with body image, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation, and post-traumatic stress. Financial stress, caregiver strain, and communication or control issues are also within his focus.
His approach draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, along with attachment-focused and client-centered methods. Those approaches guide practical steps like identifying values, changing unhelpful thinking, and building better emotion regulation skills. Sessions are offered in English and use flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to the therapist’s availability.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to sit with difficult feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking patterns and change routines that keep problems going. That approach is often used for depression, anxiety, and mood concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to goals and preferences, explain options, and try strategies collaboratively. If something isn’t working, adjustments are made so sessions stay focused on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for a session that resembles an in-person visit when face-to-face interaction matters. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, skill practice, or when writing feels easier than talking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit daily life.
