David Rice, LCMHC, LCPC

David Rice greets visitors with a straightforward message: taking this step matters. He frames therapy as a practical path toward more joy and contentment in daily life. He speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or uncertain.

David is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with 22 years of experience. He trained in clinical counseling and has worked across a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, trauma and intimacy-related issues. He also focuses on caregiver strain, blended family concerns, aging issues, chronic illness, and communication or commitment problems.

His style is warm and client-centered. He listens first, then helps set realistic goals. Sessions blend practical problem-solving with skills practice so people leave with tools they can try between meetings.

David draws on several approaches to guide his work. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about close relationships and how past connections shape current ones. Mindfulness and dialectical skills are offered to help manage strong emotions and increase tolerance for difficult moments.

He encourages people to be active in the work and to track progress. The tone in sessions is supportive but direct, aiming for steady change rather than quick fixes. Those interested in meeting him can confirm session options and scheduling before booking.

How his approaches fit into online therapy

David commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and supporting each person's own goals, which helps when someone needs a calm space to sort feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors to find small changes that make daily life easier, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. He will talk with clients about their needs and goals and try approaches that fit those priorities. That makes it easier to adjust methods if something isn’t helping and to build a plan that feels workable.

Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how meetings will be scheduled. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people use sessions for skills practice and coaching between in-person visits. Ask about format details when you schedule to match the practical setup to your day.
