Davis Rice

Davis Rice is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Maryland with 12 years of experience. He began his counseling career at a nonprofit and now sees clients in private practice. He holds two master's degrees: a Master of Arts in English from William and Mary and a Master of Science in Counseling from Johns Hopkins. He previously taught English and Latin in public high school for over thirty years.

Davis prefers a straightforward, listening-first style. He uses client-centered methods to follow what matters most to each person. He also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions tend to include practical suggestions alongside time to talk through concerns.

People consult him for stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy-related issues, changes in life circumstances, parenting concerns, grief, and career questions. He also works with attention-related challenges and a range of family and mood concerns. Davis pays attention to communication problems, commitment worries, and struggles with guilt or shame.

His background in teaching shapes a clear, down-to-earth approach in sessions. He combines listening with concrete strategies and brief exercises when those fit the client's goals. He mentions hobbies like reading, photography, music, and time with his golden retriever, Henry.

Sessions are held with a focus on the client’s immediate needs and longer-term goals. Prospective clients who prefer a calm, practical clinician will find his style accessible and direct.

Approach choices and how they work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the client. A therapist using this approach creates space for the person to tell their story and helps clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and introduces small experiments and new ways of responding to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, needs, and preferences, and then try methods that fit those aims. Decisions about which methods to use are collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into a busy schedule and fewer barriers to keeping regular appointments. Online work can make it simpler to check in during a lunch break, to have a shorter follow-up session when needed, or to use tools and exercises together during a session. Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking to match sessions to your routine and needs. Licensed professionals, including therapists, commonly adapt client-centered and CBT methods to work well in online settings.
