About Amanda
Amanda Rice is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, and trauma. She writes plans with each person she sees and focuses on clear, practical steps people can use day to day. Amanda keeps language simple and conversations direct so busy parents can follow along on a phone.
Amanda uses a mix of approaches to match a person's needs. She draws on client-centered methods to listen closely and build trust.
Background and approach
She adds cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and teach skills that change behavior. Dialectical behavior therapy ideas are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. Over ten years working in Michigan settings has exposed her to mood disorders, panic, post-traumatic stress, and relationship and family tensions.
Amanda also supports people managing burnout, compassion fatigue, career stress, and the ongoing effects of abuse or disaster. She describes therapy as a joint effort and adjusts pacing to the person's readiness. Sessions focus on practical strategies such as grounding, thought records, communication practice, and short-term goal setting.
Amanda combines skill practice with time to talk through painful memories or current struggles. Her aim is to help people gain clearer choices and feel more capable between sessions. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
Amanda works in English and is licensed in Michigan as an LPC. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to connect people to a fitting schedule.

Approach and online options that fit real life
Amanda often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel understood and can set their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, which is useful for anxiety, anger, and mood concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy adds concrete skills for managing strong emotions and reducing impulsive reactions, which can help during intense stress or after trauma.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Amanda collaborates with each person to choose strategies that match their needs and goals. She adjusts methods over time, trying skills in real life and reviewing what helps most during sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skills work that uses worksheets or role play. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between longer sessions, practice short coping skills, or keep progress moving when schedules are tight. These options help people access consistent support without major changes to their daily routine.
