About George
George "Rico" Bodin is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida. He draws on a mix of practical therapies to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship concerns. Sessions are straightforward and focused on real-life change.
He speaks English and works with adults seeking clearer direction and better coping skills. Rico combines evidence-informed approaches such as the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based work, client-centered talking, and cognitive behavioral techniques.
Background and approach
He helps people notice unhelpful patterns and build small, usable habits that fit daily life. Conversations are guided but collaborative, with room to name what matters most to each person. Many clients bring multiple concerns like mood shifts, trouble with trust or abandonment, impulses they regret, or strain around money and caregiving.
Rico addresses these issues in practical ways, breaking problems into manageable steps and teaching skills for managing strong emotions and urges. He also offers support around body image, guilt, loneliness, and forgiveness. With about ten years of professional experience, Rico keeps sessions direct and calm.
He aims to help people feel heard and to find tools they can use between appointments. The work often includes practice exercises, new communication habits, and decision-making strategies tied to the client’s goals. Rico’s license is Florida LMHC, which is used in his practice.
To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions that fit their timing and needs.

Online support
Approaches and online care that match your needs
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and committing to small steps that move a person toward those values while learning to notice difficult thoughts without letting them drive behavior. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relating styles influence current trust and safety in relationships and helps people build new, more supported ways of relating. The Gottman Method draws on research about relationship patterns and offers practical exercises to improve communication, reduce escalation, and rebuild connection.Deciding on an approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about problems, goals, and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. Sessions can shift over time as priorities change, with regular check-ins to see what is helping and what needs adjustment.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when meeting in person is hard to arrange. Phone sessions work well for shorter check-ins or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, share quick updates, or use written exercises on the go. These options aim to make consistent work on goals easier to fit into a busy life.
