About David
David Rice is an LCSW licensed in New Jersey with 24 years of experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, social anxiety and phobia, bereavement, parenting concerns, relationship issues, trauma, and LGBT-related matters.
He focuses on clear, respectful conversation. Sessions are direct and practical. He uses talk and structured techniques to help people notice what keeps problems going and try small changes that make daily life easier.
David draws on Client-Centered Therapy to listen without judgment and follow what matters to each person. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and then tests different ways of responding. Both approaches aim to make steps feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
He has worked with school-related and parenting issues earlier in his career and now concentrates on adult clients. He can bring a faith-informed perspective when a client wants that included, using his Biblical knowledge in conversation if appropriate.
Sessions emphasize practical skills for coping with panic, social situations, family stress, and caregiving strain. People can expect straightforward goal-setting and regular review of progress. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to plan next steps.
How his approaches translate to online work
David uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that adapt well to remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely, follows what matters to the client, and supports their priorities; this helps people feel heard and set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tests small experiments to see what changes help; it is useful for panic, social anxiety, and unhelpful thinking patterns.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. David will talk about your goals and preferences and recommend ways of working that fit your needs. He treats the choice as collaborative and adjusts methods based on what helps you make steady progress.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and keeping appointments without travel. Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule regular check-ins, try brief skills practice between meetings, or use focused CBT exercises without needing to leave home. Licensed professionals can help you decide which setup matches your daily life and goals.
