About Davis
Davis Rice is a licensed clinician based in Maryland with 12 years of counseling experience. He holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - LCPC. He brings a calm, practical style to sessions and focuses on parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, and life changes.
Davis began his professional life as a teacher. He spent over thirty years teaching English and Latin in public high school before moving into counseling work.
Background and approach
That classroom experience shapes how he explains ideas and offers concrete strategies parents can try at home. Early in his counseling career he worked at a nonprofit agency and later moved into independent practice. He combines client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools to help people tackle specific problems.
Sessions often include straightforward techniques plus space to talk through feelings. He has two master's degrees - a Master of Arts in English from William and Mary and a Master of Science in Counseling from Johns Hopkins - and he enjoys reading, photography, music, and walks with his golden retriever, Henry.
Davis also draws on his life experience as a parent of two grown children when supporting others with parenting challenges. People who reach out to him can expect direct, respectful conversation and practical steps to try between sessions. He works with issues such as depression, grief, anger, self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, career questions, ADHD, and aging-related matters.
Sessions are available in English and he sees international clients as well. His background makes him comfortable helping parents who want clear, usable ideas alongside empathetic listening.

Approach-driven online care for parenting and life changes
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person first. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflecting feelings and priorities so parents feel heard and respected. This approach is useful when someone needs empathetic space to sort through emotions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It offers practical exercises and small experiments to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, parenting stress, and impulse control.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences and adjust plans as progress is made.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversation when a fuller discussion is needed. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging makes it simpler to check in quickly or get brief support between appointments. These options help parents and others fit therapy into day-to-day life without long commutes.
