Amanda Rice, LPC

Amanda Rice is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and career challenges.

Amanda uses straightforward conversation to help people sort problems one step at a time. Sessions focus on practical coping skills, clearer communication, and realistic planning. She draws on approaches such as client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and trauma-focused strategies to address emotional pain and day-to-day obstacles.

In sessions she helps clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop healthier responses. That can mean learning skills to manage panic or mood shifts, practicing ways to set boundaries, or breaking big problems into small, manageable actions. Amanda also works with people facing grief, compassion fatigue, and the stresses of caregiving or job strain.

She pays attention to attachment and communication patterns that keep problems repeating. For people affected by past abuse or traumatic events, Amanda uses trauma-focused methods alongside skill-building from CBT and DBT. The aim is to reduce reactivity, improve emotional regulation, and support better decision making.

Amanda asks straightforward questions about what someone wants to change and helps set short-term goals. She encourages regular check-ins on progress and adjusts the approach as needs shift. Clients who prefer clear, practical strategies and steady problem-solving often find this style useful.
