About David
David Rice is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) licensed in New Jersey with 24 years of professional experience. He focuses on adult concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and LGBT-related issues. He also addresses parenting and family concerns from the perspective of individuals seeking help.
He keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations tend to focus on current problems and concrete steps that can reduce distress. David uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect the client's priorities, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns that maintain worry or low mood.
David draws on broad experience working in settings that involved school and parenting issues earlier in his career. That background informs how he supports people managing caregiver stress, communication problems, life purpose questions, and aging or geriatric concerns. He also works with people facing panic attacks, social anxiety, and phobias.
He pays attention to religious or spiritual concerns when they are important to the person in front of him, and can bring biblical knowledge into discussions when requested. Sessions are arranged around what a person wants to accomplish and how they prefer to work.
For practical next steps, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The subscription billing model used for sessions can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location.
BHow sessions work
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client's priorities. Online sessions let the therapist and client talk through immediate problems and set short-term goals together. This approach helps when someone needs practical support for stress, relationships, or grief.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety or low mood going. In online sessions CBT commonly involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing small behavior changes between meetings. That can be useful for panic attacks, social anxiety, and mood symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and make decisions together about which methods to try. That collaborative process helps shape session topics and homework tasks.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins when problems flare. It can also let people choose sessions that match their energy level, for example shorter talks rather than longer meetings when needed.
