Debra Rice

Hi, I'm Debra Rice a licensed therapist with over 15 years of experience. I'd like to know more about everything that's been going on, and how you've been dealing with it. My clients say I'm a great listener, and that our work together has helped them to feel supported, and to see a path forward that they hadn't seen before. I know it can be hard to see positive things when things aren't going so well, but I'm going to help you see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, the place you're in right now is temporary, and I'm here to help you find the path forward.

My approach

My therapy approach is inclusive of several ideologies which I have found helpful in my 15 years of practice. My initial goal is to understand your values, problems as you see them, your strengths, and what you would like to achieve to feel your life is moving forward in a positive way. My clients say I help them make sense out of chaos or feeling overwhelmed. My approach is supportive, solution-focused, and holistic.

My focus

I work with clients who come from a variety of backgrounds and life circumstances. Working to reduce stress is universal, and something that can benefit everyone. We"ll work on learning healthy coping skills, and increasing self-confidence to minimize and manage the everyday stressors in life. I believe in a mind-body connection between health and wellness.

My communication style

As for our communications, I normally work with phone sessions, but we can also do video chats if we decide that's preferable. My clients have said I'm a great listener, they always feel heard and understood. During our sessions, we'll work together to identify and understand any problems and possible roadblocks in the past. We'll make a plan and work toward your goals as a team.

My goals for you

I use a SMART goals template for achieving goals without a perfectionist mindset. Sometimes we take a step back for every two steps forward. Changing is a process, and giving ourselves grace with that process is how we make lasting changes, and achieve our most important goals in life. I'm here to help you with that!

My first session with you

There's no need to do anything other than bring yourself to our first session!
