Debra Rice, LCSW

Debra Rice is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in New York with 14 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and disruptions to daily life. Her practice also addresses parenting and family concerns, addictions, sleep problems, self-esteem, career stress, and codependency-related patterns.

She uses practical talk and evidence-based tools to help people sort what matters most. Sessions focus on clearer thinking, steadying strong emotions, and making small changes that feel doable. Debra draws on cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness skills to shift unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Attachment ideas guide work on relationships and patterns that repeat across situations. That can look like mapping past interactions, noticing how they show up now, and trying different responses in safe steps. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy techniques are used to help people notice what they value and take action toward it even when feelings are hard.

Dialectical behavior strategies offer concrete skills for managing intense emotions and impulses. Client-centered elements mean sessions are paced by the person in front of her, with practical suggestions when they fit. Debra aims to help people reduce overwhelm and regain a sense of choice in daily life.

She invites straightforward conversation about current struggles and past patterns. People are asked to name what they want to change, then test simple steps between meetings. This approach is steady and focused on real-life results rather than long explanations.
