About George
George "Rico" Bodin is a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with about 10 years of professional experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBTQ concerns, relationship difficulties, and depression. He speaks English and practices from Florida.
Rico focuses on feelings and attachment patterns that often underlie recurring relationship and personal problems. He uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Sessions emphasize talking through emotions, identifying patterns, and trying practical steps that can reduce distress.
He has worked with issues related to abandonment, attachment struggles, body image, caregiver stress, and communication problems. He also helps people facing control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and isolation. Rico addresses life purpose, money and financial stress, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress as part of his practice.
In sessions he aims to listen without judgment and to help clients name difficult emotions. He collaborates with people to try strategies that fit their daily life, such as behavior experiments, thought work, and emotion-focused conversations. The approach combines practical skills with attention to how feelings shape choices.
Rico’s background includes work in addiction support alongside general mental health care. He asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before the first session so he can better match goals and plan next steps. International clients are not accepted at this time.
How his approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions and how they link to relationship and behavior patterns. It helps people notice what they feel in the moment and how those feelings shape reactions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills for noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and for choosing actions that reflect personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early and current attachment patterns to understand how they affect closeness and trust in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and choose methods that fit those needs. That collaboration helps decide whether to emphasize EFT, ACT, attachment work, or a mix of techniques.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a break or sessions that avoid travel time. It also allows practicing emotion-focused conversations and behavioral experiments in everyday settings, which can make therapy more practical and immediate for many people.
