About David
David Rice is a licensed counselor with 22 years of experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting strain, grief, addiction, and relationship concerns. He speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel manageable for parents who are juggling many demands. His approach is down-to-earth and focused on practical steps that can fit into a busy life.
He believes therapy should start with clear goals. Sessions focus on problems that matter now and on small changes that add up.
Background and approach
He listens with empathy and also gives direct feedback when it helps move things forward. That mix helps people feel supported and make steady progress. David draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape behavior and feeling.
He uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with clearer choices. He also brings client-centered and mindfulness techniques to help people stay present and connected to their values. His background includes two decades of clinical work and licensure as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor.
He has worked with a broad range of concerns such as trauma, depression, anger, and intimacy-related issues, and he offers care that aims to match each person’s needs. Sessions are offered in English and are available through online formats. People who want to begin are asked to complete a short questionnaire to help match them and then schedule a first appointment.

How therapeutic approaches meet online care
David integrates attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral therapy in sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions and expectations, helping people notice patterns that affect parenting and close relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches practical techniques to change behavior and improve mood.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, struggles, and preferences and then decide together what methods to try. This collaborative stance lets the plan change as progress is made or needs shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when schedules permit. Phone sessions can be a good shorter check-in or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging support brief updates, coaching between sessions, or a way to stay connected when time is tight. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting schedules, work, and caregiving responsibilities.
