About Debra

Debra Rice is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York with 14 years of experience helping people navigate periods of stress, unhappiness, and major life changes. She works with individuals and families who feel overwhelmed or stuck, helping them explore what is creating distress and identify practical steps to regain balance and forward momentum.

Drawing on a range of evidence-informed approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and attachment-based work, she adapts methods to fit each person’s needs and goals. Her client-centered style emphasizes collaboration and skill building so that people leave sessions with concrete tools to manage emotions, relationships, and daily challenges.

Clients often report feeling a sense of relief within a few sessions as burdens begin to lift and new options emerge. Debra helps identify areas of life that may be out of balance and supports clients in restoring healthier patterns related to stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, parenting, grief, addiction, sleep, and career or life transitions.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit for You?

Many people consider online therapy because it can offer practical ways to address common challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. For a wide range of concerns, working with a therapist remotely often provides helpful support that complements or mirrors what people seek in traditional in-person care.

One clear benefit is flexibility. Individuals can connect in the format that best fits their needs and schedule - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to maintain consistency and fit therapy into a busy life.

Licensed professionals provide these services, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they are looking for a different therapeutic fit. For many people, online therapy is a practical, adaptable way to access skilled support when navigating emotional and behavioral concerns.
