About George
George "Rico" Bodin is a Florida licensed mental health counselor, LMHC, with ten years of professional experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT issues, relationships, and depression, helping people who feel stuck after changes in work, health, or relationships.
Rico uses straightforward conversation and practical strategies in sessions. He listens for patterns in thinking and behavior, then works with clients on specific skills to manage difficult emotions and impulses. He also addresses issues around attachment, abandonment, body image, and isolation that can make decisions feel harder.
His approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. He blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift unhelpful thinking and increase value-driven action. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills appear when stronger emotion regulation or impulse control is needed.
Attachment-Based techniques help when relationship patterns or past losses affect current choices. Client-Centered principles guide the way he structures conversations so people lead the agenda while he offers reflections and gentle challenges.
Rico often helps people sort through life purpose questions alongside practical concerns like money stress, caregiver strain, and communication problems. He encourages small experiments between sessions to test what feels manageable. To begin, readers should follow the site's steps to match and schedule a first meeting.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and when someone is questioning what matters next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns that keep problems going and testing new ways of responding to reduce symptoms and improve decision making. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and impulsivity, which can help with addiction-related urges and intense relationship moments.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means adjusting strategies as needs change rather than sticking to a single method.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let people continue work during health or life transitions without rearranging their schedule. Ask about session length and the technical format when you complete the matching questionnaire so practical details match your everyday routine.
