About David

David Rice is a licensed counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship and family struggles, grief, addiction, trauma, and mood concerns.

Background and approach

He approaches work with a practical, client-centered tone that emphasizes respect for each person’s experience and a commitment to helping clients regain balance and functioning. With 22 years of clinical practice, he draws on a broad set of interventions to support progress and resilience.

His background includes training in multiple evidence-informed methods, and he often integrates cognitive behavioral techniques alongside attachment-informed and client-centered practices to tailor treatment to individual needs. He emphasizes collaboration, realistic goal-setting, and an empathic yet straightforward style that encourages growth.

David holds LCMHC and LCPC credentials and works from Utah, offering a range of session formats to fit different schedules and preferences.

How therapeutic approaches work in online care

David often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies for changing behaviors and emotional responses; CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections and intimacy, which can help with relationship conflicts and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist takes a collaborative stance, listening to goals and preferences and then adapting methods so treatment fits the client’s needs rather than applying one fixed model. This means techniques may be blended or adjusted over time based on how a person responds.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and convenience. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, caregiving, or mobility constraints and allow clients to engage in therapy from locations that suit them while working with a licensed professional.
