About David
David Rice greets people with a steady, straightforward style. He frames the first step as simply showing up and talking. He speaks plainly and aims to make therapy feel doable for people under pressure.
David holds LCMHC and LCPC credentials and brings 22 years of clinical experience to sessions in Utah. He focuses on practical steps that help reduce stress and anxiety. Conversations include skills for handling strong emotions and ways to change unhelpful thought patterns.
Background and approach
He draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to teach tools you can use between sessions. David also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. That can help when grief, intimacy challenges, or ongoing family problems are part of the picture.
He works in a calm, direct manner that balances support with gentle challenge. His usual approach is collaborative. He helps people set clear, realistic goals and checks progress along the way.
Sessions aim to produce usable strategies, not just talk. In practice he tailors methods to the issue at hand, blending client-centered listening with structured skills work. Many who meet him find the mix of empathy and practical tools useful for moving forward.
He sees clients in Utah and conducts sessions in English.
How his approaches translate to online work
David uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT often focuses on clear strategies and homework to shift daily patterns. He also draws on attachment-based therapy to look at how early and current relationship patterns affect emotions and trust, which can guide safer ways of relating and communicating.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He talks with clients about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adjusts methods as therapy progresses. That collaborative decision-making helps shape a plan that fits each person’s life and needs.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep momentum between meetings. Licensed professionals can use each format for skills teaching, check-ins, and follow-up so progress does not depend solely on in-person visits.
Attachment-Based Therapy
Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
