Davis Rice

Davis Rice is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) based in Maryland with twelve years of therapy experience. He moved from nonprofit work into private practice after building a long career that also included teaching English and Latin in public high school for over thirty years. Davis combines practical problem solving with careful listening to help people facing everyday struggles.

He draws on two master’s degrees - an MA in English from the College of William and Mary and an MS in Counseling from Johns Hopkins - to shape clear, down-to-earth sessions. Davis often uses Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches to help clients identify unhelpful patterns and try small, workable changes. Sessions tend to focus on what a person wants to change and on realistic steps toward that goal.

Davis works with a broad range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, parenting worries, grief, and career questions. He also addresses ADHD-related challenges and issues that come with aging, blended families, or life transitions. Conversations are practical and straightforward, aimed at improving day-to-day functioning.

People who prefer a calm, conversational style may find his approach helpful. He listens closely, offers concrete tools, and stays focused on achievable outcomes. Outside of work he enjoys reading, photography, music, and time with his golden retriever, Henry.

For those considering therapy, Davis asks people to describe their current concerns and goals so sessions can target what matters most. The initial steps are simple and focused on finding a workable match.

How Davis' approaches translate to online work

Davis often uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflection, and helping a person find their own way forward; it can help with relationship questions, low self-esteem, and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Davis aims to match methods to a person’s needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way. He will talk about options and adjust the plan as the work progresses so it fits what matters most to the client.

The original profile does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make scheduling easier, shorten commute time, and allow quicker check-ins when life gets busy. It can also let someone choose a setup that reduces background noise, use less bandwidth when needed, or pick a session style that fits a break at work. Discussing practical details up front helps fit sessions into everyday life without adding extra strain.
