About George
George "Rico" Bodin uses relationship-focused methods like the Gottman Method alongside practical therapies to help people manage stress and emotional pain. He is a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with ten years of experience.
Background and approach
George keeps language plain and aims to make sessions feel straightforward and useful. He helps people cope with anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, and stress.
He also supports those facing relationship strain, LGBT-related issues, and struggles with isolation or shame. Common topics he addresses include attachment and abandonment worries, communication problems, impulsivity, and caregiver stress.
In sessions he blends approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive behavior strategies. That mix is used to address mood problems, trauma symptoms, and patterns that get in the way of daily life.
The work often involves noticing unhelpful patterns, practicing practical skills, and setting small, realistic goals. George aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can talk through hard feelings and decisions.
He focuses on clear steps clients can try between sessions. For many people this translates into safer conversations, reduced reactivity, and better day-to-day coping.
He offers sessions in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Starting is done online through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling tools.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
George combines the Gottman Method with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to guide online work. The Gottman Method focuses on improving how people communicate and handle conflict, which can help when relationship patterns cause stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and still move toward important values and goals. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people build more supported ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. George will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what works in real life, keeping the work collaborative and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different lifestyles. Video calls are useful for more in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text allow brief updates, between-session contact, or flexibility when a scheduled call is harder to arrange. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while using the same therapeutic approaches as in-person work.
