Derik Rice, LCSW
Preferred Name: Derik
About Me
Therapy should be a bridge from merely surviving to truly thriving. As a trauma-informed Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia, I integrate EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide clients through healing with clinical precision and genuine compassion.
I believe care should adapt to the individual, not a rigid framework. By combining practical, action-oriented strategies with deeper trauma work, we will tailor an approach that respects your pace, honors your story, and unlocks meaningful progress and lasting relief.
Education & Experience
I hold a Master of Science in Social Work (MSSW) from the University of Tennessee, where I bridged rigorous clinical training with real-world experience to offer practical, grounded support. I am particularly passionate about expanding mental health access to rural and underserved communities through telehealth.
In addition to serving the Greene County community at Region Ten Community Services Board, I provide supplemental telehealth services for individuals seeking a partner in growth who balances clinical depth with a practical, real-world perspective.
