Therapeutic approaches for online care with David Rice

David draws from Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust - this approach can help with intimacy issues, family dynamics, and attachment concerns. He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, providing a warm, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s perspective guides the pace and focus of work, which is helpful for building self-understanding and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another core method he applies to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. David collaborates with each person to determine which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time so treatment remains practical and meaningful.

Online therapy with David is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving clients flexibility to fit care into busy lives. These options support consistent access to licensed professionals and allow work to continue across schedules and locations, while preserving the collaborative, goals-focused nature of in-person therapy.
