About Amanda
Amanda Rice greets people with a clear focus on practical help for daily struggles. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, based in Michigan with ten years of experience. She aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can start making changes that matter.
Amanda works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, and grief. She also helps people who are coping with trauma, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting strain, and career setbacks.
Background and approach
Her background includes supporting those dealing with mood disorders, panic, ADHD, and issues tied to past abuse. Her approach is flexible and down to earth. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs rather than following one fixed method.
Amanda uses techniques drawn from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to match what will help most in the moment. In conversation she focuses on practical steps, clear goals, and skills people can use between sessions. She encourages small, manageable changes and checks in on what’s working.
Amanda emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction. People who choose her often want straightforward guidance and tools to cope better day to day. She supports exploration of patterns like attachment or communication problems, and she offers coaching-style work when clients want focused goal-setting.
Her style balances listening with active problem solving.
How Amanda’s Approaches Work Online
Amanda uses Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as core tools in her online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions; it suits concerns like self-esteem, grief, and relationship strain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors with practical exercises, which can help with anxiety, panic, and mood symptoms.She takes a collaborative approach to picking methods. Early sessions are used to understand goals, try different techniques, and decide together what feels most useful. That process helps shape a plan that fits a person’s needs and preferences rather than imposing a single style.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people have a full conversation with visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or short skill coaching between sessions. These options make it possible to fit therapy into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or other busy routines while keeping the focus on practical, goal-driven work.
