Getting to know Kristin Rice
Dr. Kristin Rice is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Doctorate in Behavioral Health from Arizona State University Tempe Campus and a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Bellevue University. She offers telehealth therapy to adults across Connecticut, specializing in anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma recovery, and perinatal mental health. Her approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices such as CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based therapy.
Kristin supports clients through times of change, overwhelm, or emotional disconnection, helping them develop practical tools, strengthen self-awareness, and feel more grounded in their daily lives. She welcomes individuals from all backgrounds and is especially experienced in working with caregivers, neurodivergent clients, and those navigating identity or postpartum challenges.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Clients can expect a supportive, collaborative space where we move at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, and mindfulness to help clients build insight, develop coping tools, and feel more grounded. My style is warm, nonjudgmental, and focused on helping you feel empowered in your day-to-day life.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In our first few sessions, we’ll focus on getting to know each other, identifying your goals, and exploring the patterns or stressors impacting your well-being. From there, I’ll tailor our work using approaches like CBT, ACT, and mindfulness to help you build coping tools, reframe unhelpful thoughts, and increase self-awareness. Sessions are collaborative and paced to meet your needs.

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: $155 for 60 minutes
Ongoing session: $155 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

I came to therapy after losing a parent, and Kristin helped me process it without ever rushing me. She held space with so much calm and kindness. I didn’t have to pretend I was okay — and that made all the difference.

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.

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.
