About Amanda
Amanda Rice helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or worn out find clearer direction and steady support. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma, mood struggles, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and career questions. Amanda is an LPC, a licensed professional counselor in Michigan, and brings ten years of clinical experience to each session.
Her style is straightforward and respectful. She listens first, then shapes sessions around what matters most to the client.
How Amanda works
Conversations aim to surface practical steps and small changes that add up over time rather than promising quick fixes. Amanda uses a mix of approaches depending on the issue. She draws from Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead, from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and from Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are causing ongoing distress.
She also incorporates techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy when those fit the client’s goals. In sessions she focuses on building skills for coping with panic, mood swings, relationship conflict, grief, and anger. She helps people struggling with attention or motivation look for concrete strategies that fit daily life.
Amanda also supports those managing compassion fatigue or the stresses tied to military and veteran issues. Sessions are collaborative and goal oriented. Amanda tailors treatment plans to each person and adjusts as progress unfolds.
Her approach centers on practical steps, steady support, and developing skills to handle real life challenges.

Online support options
Approach-driven online therapy and practical support
Amanda commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy when working with people who struggle with intrusive thoughts, panic, depression, or the long-term effects of trauma. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily function. Trauma-Focused Therapy helps process distressing events and build coping skills so past experiences interfere less with current life.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to center the conversation on the client's priorities, offering empathy and collaboration while clients decide goals and pace. Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work together; Amanda helps people test what fits, adjust methods, and set practical goals based on needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video lets people work face to face from different locations, phone can be a simpler check-in, live chat and messaging work well for brief updates or when writing feels easier. These options provide flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or travel while keeping regular contact with a licensed professional.
