George "Rico" Bodin

George "Rico" Bodin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. He brings ten years of experience to sessions and focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBTQ concerns, relationship struggles, and depression. Rico aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.

He creates a straightforward, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters most. Sessions are centered on listening first, then finding practical steps to reduce distress. Rico emphasizes clear goals and small changes that add up over time.

Rico uses evidence-informed approaches to match what each person needs. He draws on therapies that help with thought patterns, coping skills, emotional regulation, and relationship dynamics. These methods are adapted to fit real-life problems like work stress, addiction triggers, or grieving a separation.

Over his decade of practice he has worked with many concerns tied to attachment, abandonment, guilt and shame, and impulsivity. He also supports people facing isolation, caregiver strain, money or life-purpose questions, and post-traumatic stress. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful patterns and build tools to navigate them.

People interested in beginning work will find a calm, practical approach. The focus is on what can be changed now and how to handle setbacks. Rico encourages honest conversation, steady progress, and planning that fits daily life.

Approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions even when feelings are difficult. It helps people move toward a fuller life despite worry, avoidance, or painful memories. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, and problems with impulse control. Attachment-Based Therapy centers on understanding relationship patterns from early connections and how those patterns show up now; it can help with attachment wounds, communication problems, and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are considering online work, confirm current session options before booking because formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use methods like ACT and CBT in their everyday settings so skills can be practiced between sessions. Licensed professionals can help tailor online work to a person’s routine and goals.
