Emily Rice, MSW

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

“Telehealth therapist with a compassionate approach. ”

About Me

Therapy with me is a collaborative process, you'll help guide the direction of our work. Together, we'll better understand what's keeping you stuck, learn to respond differently to difficult thoughts and emotions, and build a life that's guided more by what matters to you than by fear, self-doubt, or anxiety. I aim to create a space where we can meet your experiences with curiosity instead of judgment, supporting self-compassion along the way. Therapy is collaborative, and you help guide the direction of our work.

Approach

I use evidence-based approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), depending on your needs. ACT helps you relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings so you can move toward what matters most. ERP is a structured, evidence-based approach often used for OCD and anxiety-related fears that helps you gradually face fears while reducing unhelpful patterns.
