Davis Rice, LCPC

Davis Rice is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Maryland. He brings 12 years of counseling experience and a background that includes work at a nonprofit agency and a current independent practice. He uses a direct, listening-first approach to help people facing relationship stress, anxiety, and life transitions.

He draws on two master’s degrees to inform his work: an MA in English from William and Mary and an MS in Counseling from Johns Hopkins. Before counseling he taught English and Latin in a public high school for over thirty years, an experience that shaped his clear communication style and practical problem-solving skills.

Sessions tend to focus on what matters day to day. He helps people talk through relationship concerns, grief, parenting strain, and career stress. He also supports those dealing with mood struggles, ADHD-related challenges, anger, and self-esteem difficulties.

In the room he mixes client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means conversations often start with understanding what a person is going through, then move to concrete steps to change thoughts or actions that get in the way.

Davis values collaboration and straightforward suggestions. He welcomes international clients who speak English. Outside work he enjoys reading, photography, music, and time with his golden retriever, Henry.

How Davis blends approaches for online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The therapist follows the client’s lead, creating space to talk about relationship strain, grief, or life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and uses simple, practical steps to test new ways of thinking or acting. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, mood struggles, and managing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then suggest ways of working that fit those needs. Decisions about which methods to use are collaborative and may change as progress is made.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find that remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, keep appointments during travel, or shorten a check-in when time is limited. Online work can let conversations continue across life changes, and the therapist will help plan session timing and structure to match each person’s schedule and goals.
