About Davis

Davis Rice is a licensed therapist practicing in Maryland. He holds an MD and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, and he brings 12 years of counseling experience to his work. He speaks English and accepts international clients.

Davis aims to create a calm, straightforward environment for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and life transitions. Before counseling, he spent decades teaching high school English and Latin.

Background and approach

That classroom experience shaped his clear communication style and patient listening. He also holds two master’s degrees - a Master of Arts in English from William and Mary and a Master of Science in Counseling from Johns Hopkins. In sessions he uses practical, conversational techniques.

He listens first, then helps people tell their stories in new ways. He draws on narrative ideas to help people reframe painful or stuck parts of their lives and on cognitive behavioral tools to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Davis also uses client-centered and solution-focused approaches.

That means he follows what matters most to the person and helps build small, concrete steps toward change. He has worked with concerns that range from grief and anger to ADHD and career questions. People who work with him can expect direct, respectful conversation and hands-on suggestions.

Outside of therapy he enjoys reading, photography, music, and time with his young golden retriever, Henry.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Davis directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How narrative and practical approaches work online

Many of his sessions draw on Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from painful stories and see alternative meanings. Narrative work is useful for grief, identity questions, and feeling stuck in old patterns. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety and low mood.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. He listens to what matters most, discusses options in plain terms, and experiments together to find what fits the person's goals and preferences. The method can shift over time based on progress and life changes.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter connection is needed. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, quick problem-solving, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options let people schedule work around childcare, work breaks, or travel and keep continuity when routine changes.
