Getting to know Karina Rice

I am a licensed mental health therapist with a Master’s in Counseling from Concordia University Chicago. My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Somatic practices, focusing on self-care, personal development, and mental health management. I'm dedicated to helping you navigate your journey toward emotional wellness and resilience. My therapeutic approach is integrative, primarily drawing on CBT, EMDR, and Somatic practices. This combination allows me to customize therapy to the unique needs of each client, focusing on the interaction between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while utilizing targeted techniques for trauma and distress. CBT is foundational in my practice; it helps clients identify and challenge distorted or unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more realistic and effective thoughts, leading to more positive behaviors and emotions. EMDR is particularly effective for those dealing with trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It involves recalling distressing experiences while receiving bilateral sensory input, such as side-to-side eye movements or hand tapping, which can ease emotional distress and help change harmful beliefs associated with traumatic memories. Somatic practices help clients reconnect with their bodies, recognize physical sensations linked to emotions, and develop greater awareness and control over physiological responses—especially beneficial for those coping with trauma or anxiety. Together, these methods foster a holistic healing process, addressing the mind, body, and behavioral aspects of wellness.
