About David

David Rice is a licensed clinical social worker in New Jersey with 24 years of experience. He focuses on helping adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship concerns, parenting strain, and LGBTQ-related issues. He values clear, respectful conversation and aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are nervous about starting therapy.

In sessions he listens first to understand what matters most to each person.

Background and approach

He adapts his approach to fit the situation, combining Client-Centered Therapy with practical techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That means conversations are grounded in real-life problems and look for steps people can try between sessions. His background includes long experience supporting issues tied to family life, communication problems, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, and finding life purpose.

He also works with panic, social anxiety, and challenges around self-love. He frames these topics plainly and avoids jargon so people can focus on what helps. David uses a direct but compassionate style.

He tailors the pace and focus to each person and pays attention to cultural or spiritual elements a person brings, including Biblical perspectives when appropriate. Sessions aim to be practical, conversational, and oriented toward day-to-day changes. For someone feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start, he offers a steady presence and straightforward tools.

He helps people talk through their priorities, build coping skills, and make small, workable changes in how they manage stress and relationships.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It emphasizes empathy and letting the person's own goals guide the work, which can help with relationship concerns, self-worth, and life-purpose questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect feelings and offers concrete techniques to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and address depression.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's style, and adjust the plan as they learn what helps most. That means sessions can shift between exploring feelings and practicing specific skills depending on what the client needs.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and each has practical advantages. Video is useful for fuller conversation and visual cues, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging allow short check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between sessions.
