About David
David Rice is a New Jersey LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 24 years of professional experience. He focuses on adults who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting concerns, LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, and questions about life purpose. He communicates directly and uses practical conversation to help people sort out what matters now.
David practices in a straightforward, client-centered way. He listens to each person's concerns and uses that listening to shape sessions. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Sessions are conversational and action-oriented rather than highly technical.
He has worked extensively with matters that touch family life, such as parenting stress, communication problems, and caregiver strain. He is also experienced addressing aging and geriatric issues and panic-related concerns. He can include discussion of faith when a client wants that, noting his background in Biblical knowledge.
Sessions are conducted in English and he works from New Jersey as an LCSW. He does not accept international clients. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session.
David aims to help people who feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health to clarify practical next steps. He combines listening, CBT techniques, and goal-focused discussion to help clients test small changes and notice what shifts.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
David uses Client-Centered Therapy to start: that means the work begins with listening to what matters most to the person and shaping sessions around those priorities. This approach helps when someone needs to clarify values, parenting choices, or relationship goals.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It is practical for anxiety, panic, depression, and for people who want concrete tools to reduce distress and try different ways of coping.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. David will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize listening and support, CBT skill work, or a mix of both.
Session formats are not listed in the provided biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, reduce travel time, or let someone avoid being on camera when that feels difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work in remote sessions while focusing on practical steps and measurable progress.
