About Amanda

Amanda Rice is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and career concerns. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use when anger or frustration shows up at work or home.

Amanda uses straightforward, dialog-based work. She listens to what matters to each person and then practices skills alongside them. That can mean looking at unhelpful thoughts, building emotion-regulation skills, or trying short, solution-focused experiments between sessions.

Her background includes work with mood disorders, panic, post-traumatic stress, and issues that touch relationships and family life. Amanda also supports clients facing burnout, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to ADHD and grief. She brings ten years of experience across these concerns and keeps sessions goal-oriented and practical.

In sessions she mixes Client-Centered methods with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools when useful. Trauma-Focused and Solution-Focused approaches appear when addressing past events or immediate changes a person wants to make. Amanda tends to use clear, teachable skills people can try the same week.

People who want to better manage anger, reduce reactivity, or repair strained interactions may find this style helpful. Her work is aimed at steady, doable change rather than quick fixes. To begin, clients choose an online therapy option and complete a brief questionnaire before scheduling a first session.

How Amanda’s approaches translate to online work

Amanda commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools in her work. CBT helps by identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce reactivity and anxiety. DBT provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication in stressful moments.

She also draws on Client-Centered principles, which prioritize listening and shaping sessions around what a person finds most pressing. Finding the right approach is part of the process; Amanda will work together with each client to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and the specific problems they want to address.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. In general, online work can make it easier to fit check-ins into a busy week, allow shorter focused sessions when needed, or remove commute time so a person can use a lunch break for a meeting. Licensed professionals can use the same CBT and DBT exercises online that they use in person, practicing skills and homework between sessions to build steady changes.
