About Rosemary
Rosemary Rice is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and parenting challenges. She conversations focus on everyday problems like sleep, eating, work stress, and low self-esteem. Rosemary speaks English and Spanish and works from California, bringing a calm, nonjudgmental presence to sessions.
She aims to make therapy feel straightforward and useful. Sessions are a place to name what feels hard and to try small, practical changes.
Background and approach
She listens closely and asks simple questions to clarify what a person wants to change and why. Rosemary draws on several common methods to guide her work. She uses client-centered techniques to build trust and help people feel heard.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense feelings and improving relationships. In practice she focuses on clear goals and steps that a person can take between sessions.
That might mean trying new coping strategies, practicing communication skills, or planning daily routines to improve sleep and mood. The approach is collaborative - the client and therapist decide what to try. With three years of licensed experience as an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she combines practical tools with steady support.
Rosemary encourages realistic next steps so change feels possible one small move at a time.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Rosemary uses client-centered work to make sessions feel personal and respectful. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting what the client says, and helping people explore their goals at their own pace. It is useful when someone needs a calm space to sort feelings.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT gives simple tools to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process and usually happens together. Rosemary talks with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together they choose methods and adjust them over time based on what feels most useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit daily life. These options let people work on skills, hold conversations, and get coaching between sessions without traveling. The variety also helps when schedules or mobility make in-person visits difficult, and it supports steady progress through flexible contact.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
