David Rice, LCMHC, LCPC

David Rice is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 22 years of experience. He focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, and relationship and intimacy concerns. He writes in straightforward terms and aims to make therapy practical and hopeful for everyday life.

He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. He also uses client-centered techniques to listen closely and follow each person's pace. Attachment-based ideas help when early relationship patterns affect present connections.

Sessions tend to be goal-oriented. He encourages clear, realistic steps people can try between meetings. He balances empathy with gentle challenges to help people move past stuck points.

David has worked broadly across life issues such as parenting strain, family problems, caregiver stress, blended family matters, chronic illness, and addiction. Over two decades he has helped people manage anger, communication problems, commitment questions, and grief while also addressing co-occurring concerns.

People who prefer practical tools, steady listening, and a collaborative plan may find his way of working useful. He practices in Utah and conducts sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

David commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thoughts that worsen stress or anxiety, then try small behavior changes to see what helps. Attachment-based ideas guide work on patterns that affect how someone connects with others and can be useful for relationship and intimacy concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then pick tools that fit. Plans can shift if something isn’t working, and progress is reviewed together so the approach stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is helpful when face-to-face conversation matters, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging works for quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy days.
