George "Rico" Bodin, LMHC

George "Rico" Bodin uses practical, person-focused therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and relationship difficulties. He is a Florida licensed mental health counselor - LMHC - with ten years of experience. He creates a calm, open space so people can talk honestly about what they are feeling and thinking.

He emphasizes clear, doable steps rather than long theory. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person right now, and on skills to handle hard moments. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going.

He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy methods to help people notice thoughts without being driven by them. Attachment-based ideas inform how he helps clients understand recurring relationship patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered when people need tools for emotional regulation and strong urges.

Rico pays attention to issues common for carers, such as caregiver stress and isolation, and he supports people who are navigating divorce, money strain, or questions about life purpose. He also addresses struggles with guilt, shame, body image, and impulsivity.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. He encourages small, testable changes between meetings so progress can be measured. People who prefer straightforward guidance and practical skills often find this approach useful.

How specific approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and supports committed steps toward a values-based life. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on recognizing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and teaching practical strategies to change them, which often helps with depression, anxiety, and impulse control. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns show up now and helps people shift how they relate to others and to themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try approaches and adjust the plan over time so the therapy matches changing needs.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistency and apply new skills between meetings.
