About Davis

Davis Rice is a licensed clinician practicing in Maryland. He holds an MD and is an LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (license LC4266) with twelve years of therapy experience. He began in nonprofit work and now sees clients in independent practice.

His background also includes long experience teaching English and Latin at the high school level. Davis keeps sessions straightforward and practical. He listens closely, asks clear questions, and suggests concrete strategies to try between visits.

Background and approach

He draws on both Client-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life changes. Clients can expect a calm, patient style and an emphasis on real-life tools. He blends problem-focused techniques with conversations that help clarify values and goals.

That combination aims to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. He also addresses issues such as grief, anger, career concerns, ADHD-related struggles, and family matters. Additional topics he works with include blended family issues, fatherhood questions, communication problems, and aging or geriatric concerns.

Davis prefers to tailor methods to each person. He draws on solution-focused and narrative ideas when they fit the situation. Outside of work he enjoys reading, photography, music, and time with his golden retriever, Henry.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Davis commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with respect and helping people clarify their own goals; it is useful when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort out parenting or relationship questions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, or address impulsivity.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan over time as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These formats let people fit conversations into busy days, follow up between meetings, and continue work during life transitions. Licensed professionals can use these options to deliver the same practical tools and reflective conversations used in office sessions, while making scheduling and access easier for families and individuals.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
