About David
David Rice is an LCSW based in New Jersey with 24 years of professional experience. He focuses now on working with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and issues related to LGBT identity. He aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can start tough conversations and look for practical ways forward.
He uses a straightforward, collaborative style. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and goals. That means talking through what’s most pressing, trying new ways of coping, and adjusting the plan as things change.
David draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective, and on cognitive behavioral techniques that look at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. He can integrate discussions of faith when clients request that context.
Over his career he has helped people with parenting stress, communication problems, panic symptoms, social anxiety, caregiving strain, and life-purpose questions. He frames work in clear, practical steps rather than jargon, so clients know what to try between sessions.
Sessions follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Before booking, confirm the current session options to make sure they fit your needs.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to the person’s experience and following their priorities. In practice that means the session centers on what matters most to the client and the therapist reflects and clarifies to keep the work relevant. This approach is helpful for exploring identity, values, and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. The therapist and client identify unhelpful thought patterns and try concrete strategies to change them. CBT techniques are often used for anxiety, panic symptoms, and low mood because they provide clear skills to practice between sessions.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss options with each person and adjust methods based on their goals and preferences. That means trying something, checking how it works, and changing course if needed.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to keep progress moving when life gets in the way, while still focusing on practical skills and conversations that matter.
