Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions

George "Rico" Bodin uses evidence-informed methods tailored to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, then commit to actions that align with their values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connection styles and helps people work through abandonment, trust, and intimacy issues to build healthier bonds.

He approaches treatment collaboratively, recognizing that finding the right method is part of the work. He will help clients explore which techniques fit their goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds so that therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to choose a format that feels most comfortable. These options allow licensed professionals to deliver ongoing support, teach skills, and maintain continuity of care while accommodating different communication styles and logistical needs.
