About Amanda
Amanda Rice is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Michigan who helps people struggling with anxiety, stress, and life changes. She speaks plainly and practices with respect and compassion. Many clients come to her worried about panic attacks, low confidence, or overwhelming stress. Amanda focuses on short, clear conversations that lead to doable next steps.
Amanda brings ten years of counseling experience to her work. She tailors each session to the person's needs and situation. That means setting practical goals together and choosing simple tools to try between meetings. She often uses evidence-based strategies aimed at reducing anxious thinking and improving emotional regulation.
Her approach blends client-centered listening with skills-based methods. Amanda listens first, then helps clients practice strategies that fit their daily life. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy when helpful, and works with trauma-focused methods for those who have been through abuse or violence.
People also consult her about career worries, relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar symptoms. She supports folks facing complex issues like attachment struggles, control problems, and compassion fatigue. Her style is practical, calm, and collaborative.
Sessions emphasize clear steps clients can use between meetings. Amanda encourages small, steady changes rather than sudden fixes. If someone wants focused help for panic disorder or panic attacks, she will work with them to build coping skills and a plan that suits their needs.
How Amanda’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Amanda uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral techniques that focus on clear goals and practical skills. Client-centered work means the therapist listens closely and shapes sessions around what the person needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful patterns, which can reduce anxiety and panic symptoms.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when intense feelings arise. DBT offers specific practices for managing overwhelming emotion and improving interpersonal communication. Together these approaches aim to give tools someone can use when stress or panic appears, and the therapist will help decide which fit best.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Amanda collaborates with each client to choose techniques that match their goals and daily life. She checks in often and adjusts plans based on what helps most.
