About Debra
Debra Rice is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York who centers her work on attachment-based approaches and practical skills. She offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or life transitions. Her style is straightforward and focused on what will help day to day.
With 14 years of experience, Debra uses a mix of methods to match each person's needs. She draws from client-centered work to listen closely and from cognitive behavioral and acceptance-based strategies to change unhelpful patterns.
Background and approach
Dialectical skills and mindfulness tools are also part of her toolbox when people need better ways to manage intense emotions. Sessions include real talk about what is out of balance and concrete steps to change that. She helps people with parenting and family concerns, relationship and commitment issues, addictions, and self-esteem struggles.
Practical problems such as sleeping trouble, career transitions, and caregiver stress are also addressed. Debra also supports people facing attachment difficulties, blended family challenges, body image and eating-related concerns, and isolation or loneliness. She works with aging and geriatric issues and the stress that comes from caregiving or life changes caused by disasters.
People meet Debra through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Her approach is collaborative: she listens first, then helps build skills and small changes that fit each person’s life.

Online support
Attachment and skills-based approaches for online care
Debra combines attachment-based ideas with acceptance and commitment work to help people understand how relationships and early patterns affect current life. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns of connection and helps people notice and change ways of relating that cause pain or distance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, uses acceptance and values-based action to help people live toward what matters even when uncomfortable feelings appear. Finding the right approach is a conversation. Debra collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. She listens to what matters most, then mixes listening, skill practice, and small behavioral changes that suit the person’s life. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and more depth, phone can be easier when bandwidth or movement is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports brief ongoing contact between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and other daily demands while maintaining a consistent therapeutic process.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
