Amanda Rice

Amanda Rice is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and motivation. She aims to make first steps feel manageable and to provide steady support as people work toward change.

Amanda uses straightforward conversation to understand what matters most to each person. She tailors sessions and a plan to fit individual needs rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. Her style emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in the therapy room.

With ten years of professional experience, Amanda brings practical tools alongside reflective listening. She draws on methods that help with upsetting thoughts, intense emotions, and patterns that get in the way of daily life. Sessions include ways to cope with panic, mood shifts, and relationship or communication problems.

She also works with concerns such as grief, career stress, parenting strain, and long-term effects of trauma or disaster. Amanda addresses issues tied to attachment, control, and dependence while helping people build clearer goals and next steps.

People who meet with her can expect a collaborative process. Amanda aims to empower clients to try new strategies between sessions and to notice what helps. She encourages questions and adjusts the approach as needs evolve.

How Amanda’s approaches fit into online therapy

Amanda uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process and reduce distress from past harm. This approach focuses on addressing traumatic memories and the thoughts and feelings tied to them so daily life can feel less overwhelming.

She blends that with Client-Centered Therapy, which means conversations start from each person's priorities. The therapist listens with respect and adjusts pace and goals to the person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, adds practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, mood, and panic-related issues.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Amanda will talk with each person about goals and preferences and choose methods together. That makes the plan feel more useful and easier to try between sessions.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten commute time, and allow a quicker check-in when needed. They also let people continue consistent care when life or location changes, while the therapist and client collaborate on the best schedule and format for progress.
