Davis Rice

Davis Rice is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Maryland with 12 years of counseling experience. He began his career at a nonprofit agency and now works in private practice. He brings a background in education and two master’s degrees to his therapy work. He spent over thirty years teaching English and Latin in a public high school before completing a Master of Science in Counseling at Johns Hopkins and a Master of Arts in English from William and Mary. That combination of classroom experience and clinical training shapes a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. Davis focuses on everyday struggles such as stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. He also addresses relationship concerns, parenting, grief, self-esteem, career questions, and ADHD-related challenges. He helps people talk through feelings of isolation, guilt, emptiness, and difficulties with commitment and communication. His main approaches include Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. In practice he listens closely, asks clear questions, and suggests concrete steps clients can try between sessions. Meetings are collaborative and aimed at small, manageable changes. Outside of work he enjoys reading, photography, music, and time with his golden retriever, Henry. He also welcomes clients from outside the United States and conducts sessions in English.

How Davis’ approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person in front of the therapist. In practice this means sessions focus on the client’s perspective, with the therapist reflecting feelings and helping the client find their own solutions. This approach can help with relationship concerns, self-esteem, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and looks for practical changes. CBT often includes simple homework tasks and skill-building to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. It is useful when someone wants concrete steps to try between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and adjust methods based on what seems to help. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to each person’s needs. The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions into a busy day, and reduce travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or sessions that don’t require video when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are helpful.
