Getting to know Kristin Rice
You have always been the person who handles things. Lately the worry does not switch off, the mental load is heavier than it should be, and you are running on empty in a life that looks fine from the outside. Maybe you are pregnant, in the postpartum months, or in a season of change that is asking more of you than you expected, and you are wondering why you feel so unlike yourself.
Dr. Kristin Rice works with adults on anxiety, burnout, depression, and the emotional side of pregnancy, postpartum, and loss. She also treats OCD and intrusive thoughts, including the ones you would not say out loud.
Her work is practical and evidence-based, drawing on CBT, ACT, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and mindfulness. It does not stop at symptom relief. Together you look at the patterns underneath: the perfectionism, the over-functioning, and the beliefs about what you are supposed to be able to carry. Her style is warm, steady, and collaborative.
She also works often with healthcare and mental health professionals, high-achieving professionals, neurodivergent adults, and LGBTQIA+ adults.
Dr. Kristin holds a Doctorate in Behavioral Health (a clinical doctorate, not a medical degree; she does not prescribe). She is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Connecticut, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, sees clients in Florida through a telehealth registration, and serves as Associate Clinical Director at Dreavita. She sees adults 18 and older in individual sessions.
Your first visit is a full intake session. Sessions are held by secure video, and you need to be located in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, or Florida at the time of your appointment.
What should a new client know about working with you?
You do not need to be in crisis to deserve help. Most people I see are functioning well on the outside, and that is often why nobody has suggested they get support before now.
In the first session I will ask what is going on, what you have already tried, and what you want to feel different. If intrusive thoughts are part of it, you can tell me the ones you are afraid to say out loud. I have heard them before, and they do not shock me. I will be warm, but I will also be honest with you about what I think is keeping you stuck, and we will decide together where to start.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
After the first session, we set a few clear goals together. Most clients meet with me weekly at the start. I use CBT to work on the thought patterns that keep anxiety and low mood going, and ACT when the goal is to live alongside something hard instead of fighting it. For OCD and intrusive thoughts, I use Exposure and Response Prevention, at a pace you agree to.
For pregnancy and postpartum, the work adapts to what this season actually looks like, including sleep, feeding, identity changes, and loss. Alongside the skills, we look at the patterns underneath, like perfectionism and over-functioning. We check progress regularly and adjust as we go.

Don’t see your insurance?
It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Initial session: $160 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $160 for 60 minutes
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
More information on payments and coverage
Within 24 hours of booking, please provide your insurance information and a payment card to keep on file. We use your insurance details to verify your benefits before your first session. If we do not receive both in that time, we may not be able to confirm your appointment. Once verified, we will let you know what to expect for copays, coinsurance, or deductibles. You are responsible for any amount your plan does not cover.
We can only bill the plans listed on this profile. If your plan is not listed, please choose self-pay or another provider. Medicare and Medicaid plans are not accepted for this provider. Self-pay is available, and reduced rates may be offered based on financial need.
Cancellations with less than 48 hours' notice are considered late cancellations. Late cancellations and missed appointments are charged to the card on file and cannot be billed to insurance.

As a new mom, I was overwhelmed and didn’t feel like myself anymore. Kristin gave me space
to talk honestly about postpartum depression without any shame. She helped me feel like I
wasn’t broken — just adjusting, and doing the best I could.

I deal with constant anxiety and overthinking, especially at work. Kristin helped me get out of my
own head with tools that actually work. She’s kind, smart, and makes therapy feel approachable — not clinical or cold.

I was nervous to open up at first, but Kristin made it feel safe from the beginning. She respected my
background and never made assumptions. Therapy with her helped me reconnect with myself and understand emotions I’ve been avoiding for years.

ristin was exactly the kind of support I didn't know I needed during the postpartum period. She helped me work through the overwhelm, the guilt, and the loneliness with so much compassion. I never felt judged - just deeply understood.

I've struggled with OCD for years, and Kristin really helped me understand my thought patterns without shame. She introduced tools that actually made a difference - and she did it in a way that felt empowering, not overwhelming.

I've worked with therapists before who didn't really understand what it's like to explore gender and identity. Kristin was different - she created a space where I didn't have to explain
everything, and I felt supported as I figured things out at my own pace.

Kristin helped me navigate postpartum anxiety when everything felt overwhelming and out of control. She taught me how to slow down my thoughts, name what I was feeling, and start trusting myself again as a mom.

I've been in therapy before, but Kristin was the first therapist who helped me feel safe enough to go deeper. She never pushed too hard, but she asked the right questions. I've made more progress with her than I ever expected.

I came to therapy after a rough breakup and felt completely lost. Kristin helped me rebuild my sense of self- not with clichés, but with real tools and compassion. I finally feel like I'm moving forward.
More than 1 year agoRC
I didn't realize how burned out I was until I finally talked to someone about it. Kristin helped me unpack the emotional load I'd been carrying and reminded me that rest isn't weakness - it's necessary. She's thoughtful, steady, and genuinely kind.
