Amanda Rice

Amanda Rice is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and trauma. She focuses on building confidence, improving motivation, and addressing career concerns. Amanda aims to make the first step toward change feel manageable and supported.

She approaches conversations with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Amanda works to create clear, realistic goals and practical steps that fit daily life.

Her methods draw from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and trauma-focused approaches. That means she listens closely, helps people notice thought patterns that get in the way, and uses focused strategies to reduce distress. She also uses tools from dialectical behavior therapy and solution-focused work when they suit a person's goals.

Amanda has about 10 years of experience in clinical settings in Michigan. She has helped people with mood disorders, panic and anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and the fallout from domestic violence and other trauma. She also supports people facing family problems, communication struggles, and grief.

Sessions are offered in English. Amanda tailors care to each person’s background and priorities and works collaboratively to build skills for coping, managing strong emotions, and moving toward a more functional daily life.

Approaches that guide online work and what they do

Amanda integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people clarify what matters to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change thought patterns and behaviors that make stress, anxiety, and anger worse.

She also uses trauma-focused techniques when past events continue to affect daily life. Trauma-focused work involves naming what happened, understanding its effects, and building skills to reduce reactivity and intrusive memories. These approaches are chosen to match the problems someone brings, such as panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, or difficulty managing strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Amanda will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That means trying practical strategies, reviewing progress, and adjusting the plan as needed.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into workdays, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that focus on specific skills. It also lets people step into therapy while keeping sessions aligned with their routine and responsibilities.
