George "Rico" Bodin, LMHC

George "Rico" Bodin uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a core approach to help people untangle unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that cause stress. He is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, working in Florida and brings ten years of experience to sessions. Rico writes plainly and keeps sessions focused on practical steps that fit everyday life.

Clients can expect a calm, accepting space to talk through anxiety, depression, and addiction concerns. He also helps with relationship strain, LGBT-related issues, and the daily pressures that build up over time. Conversations aim to identify small changes that make daily routines feel more manageable.

Rico also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people accept difficult feelings and commit to meaningful next steps. Attachment-Based ideas are used when past relationships affect current connections. He mixes these approaches with client-centered listening so each person’s goals shape the plan.

Sessions often focus on skills for coping with impulses, managing shame and guilt, and improving communication. He works on concrete strategies for money stress, caregiver strain, or the isolation that follows major life changes. Progress is tracked in practical ways so people can see what is changing.

Rico emphasizes collaboration and clear goals. He helps people set realistic steps and then adjusts those steps as needs shift. The goal is steady, usable change rather than quick fixes.

Practical approaches for online therapy

George "Rico" Bodin often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and managing addictive urges.

He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice hard emotions without getting stuck and to commit to actions that reflect their values. Attachment-Based ideas are drawn on when early relationship patterns affect current trust and communication. Each approach is described in simple terms and focused on everyday problems and choices.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Rico works collaboratively to pick and adapt methods that match a person's goals, needs, and comfort. He checks in about what is working and changes plans as progress occurs.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make regular contact easier. Video lets people work face to face, phone can be useful when bandwidth is limited, chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging helps keep conversations going between sessions. These options provide flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
