About Debra
Debra Rice is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York with 14 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, addictions, sleep problems, and career or life transitions. She also helps with caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, attachment issues, body image, and issues that can follow disasters.
She uses practical, talk-based work to address what feels most urgent. Sessions focus on clear goals and small changes that fit into everyday life. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify their values and take manageable steps.
Attachment-based methods are used to look at how past relationships shape current patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy skills can be introduced to manage strong emotions and impulsivity. Client-centered work means conversations are shaped around each person's priorities and pace.
Her approach is direct and down-to-earth. She helps people identify where life feels out of balance and creates concrete strategies to restore steadiness. Appointments are intended to be practical, readable, and actionable for busy lives.
People usually start by describing the immediate problem. From there she and the client build a short plan, try specific skills between sessions, and check progress. That steady, step-by-step focus guides most of her work.
BHow sessions work
How Debra integrates therapies in online sessions
Debra commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her sessions. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when emotions are difficult. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical techniques for reducing anxiety, improving sleep, and managing mood.She also uses attachment-based ideas to notice how past relationships influence current patterns. That lens helps when people want to change how they relate to partners or respond to closeness. Choosing an approach is collaborative - she will review options with each person, test a method for a few sessions, and shift course if something is not working for the client's goals and preferences.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online session options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit into work or family routines, cut commuting time, and make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins when life is busy. Others appreciate being able to use video or audio to match comfort and bandwidth. The therapist will discuss which way of meeting best suits the client's schedule and day-to-day constraints.
