About Amanda

Amanda Rice is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or major life changes. Her approach is down-to-earth and respectful, aimed at helping people feel more confident and capable in daily life.

She uses client-centered therapy as a foundation, shaping sessions around each person's goals and comfort level. Amanda also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and trauma-focused methods when useful to address patterns of thinking and reactions tied to past events. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented, with time spent on skills that can be used between visits.

With about 10 years of experience, Amanda has supported people facing grief, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting strain, workplace stress, and mood concerns including bipolar and depression. She also works with issues like anger, attention challenges, and compassion fatigue that can wear people down over time.

Her style is compassionate and individualized. Amanda emphasizes clear communication and collaborative planning so that each person knows what to expect and what steps come next. She helps people build small, manageable changes into their routines.

Clients who choose her can expect a mix of listening, practical exercises, and real-world problem solving. The aim is to leave sessions with clearer next steps, better coping tools, and a sense of forward movement.

How Amanda’s Approaches Work Online

Amanda uses client-centered therapy to place the person’s goals at the center of every session. That means conversations follow what the client brings, and she adapts the pace and focus to match each person’s needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice different ways of reacting to stress or anxiety. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Amanda treats this as a collaborative process - she listens to your concerns, discusses options, and helps pick methods that fit your goals and preferences. Over a few sessions she checks whether the plan feels helpful and adjusts it as needed.

If you want online therapy specifics, please confirm session options before booking since formats were not listed in the original biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a workday break, or remove the need to travel to appointments. Licensed professionals can also use a mix of conversation and practical exercises during remote sessions so people leave with tools to try between meetings.
