Background and approach
Conversations often include problem-solving, goal-setting, and small behavioral experiments to see what actually helps. Her approach blends evidence-informed methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and change specific behaviors.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports identifying values and taking action even when feelings are difficult. Attachment-Based work looks at how past relationships shape current trust and closeness. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules.
Dr. Rice has eight years of clinical experience and holds the LPC credential in Connecticut. She accepts clients across different regions and offers flexible scheduling.
People who reach out can expect clear explanations, practical tasks between sessions, and a collaborative plan. The first few meetings focus on immediate concerns and on finding small changes that make daily life easier. Over time the aim is clearer priorities, better coping, and more reliable routines.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while still choosing actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and for managing ADHD-related avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors through clear, do-able steps, which often helps with stress, sleep, and mood regulation.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to match methods to goals and preferences, and will adjust techniques over time based on what helps most. Sessions start with quick, practical goals and then expand into longer-term plans if that feels right.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when more connection is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework discussion, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities.
