Rosemary Rice

Rosemary Rice is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and challenges with self-esteem and relationships. She offers guidance for work-related concerns, parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, and mood issues like bipolar disorder. Rosemary speaks English and Spanish and practices in California as an LMFT.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about hard things. Sessions focus on everyday problems and practical steps people can take between meetings. Rosemary respects each person’s pace and priorities rather than pushing one fixed method.

Her work draws on client-centered therapy, which puts the client's experience first and emphasizes listening and collaboration. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Elements of dialectical behavior therapy are used when clients need skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

Rosemary has three years of documented experience as a California LMFT and has supported people facing grief, trauma, compassion fatigue, and isolation. She also notes additional focus areas such as intellectual disability, aging concerns, autism and Asperger syndrome, and veteran issues.

People who start with Rosemary typically work on small, achievable goals. She encourages practical exercises and clear check-ins to track progress. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Client-centered therapy centers the client's experience and priorities, with the therapist listening closely and helping guide conversations toward the goals you name. This approach is helpful for people needing emotional support and clearer direction in life.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating difficulties, and managing day-to-day stressors.

Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for handling intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be useful when someone struggles with mood swings, self-harm urges, or strong reactivity.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and may combine elements from different approaches over time.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which online formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options if living far from a clinician. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent with everyday life.
