About Ursula

Ursula Rice is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 23 years of practice in Texas. She focuses on family and parenting concerns as well as common struggles like anxiety, depression, stress, and grief. Ursula uses a warm, collaborative style to help people find practical ways forward.

She draws on experience from hospitals, schools, long-term care, independent practice, and telehealth to meet people where they are. Ursula helps parents and family members sort through communication problems and blended family issues.

Background and approach

She provides guidance for those dealing with trauma, abuse, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and chronic health challenges. Sessions aim to identify small, manageable steps that reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Her work often includes building coping skills for stress, addressing attachment and abandonment concerns, and supporting caregivers facing burnout or complicated family roles.

She uses straightforward methods like cognitive behavioral ideas and solution-focused techniques to set realistic goals and track progress. The focus is on what can change now and what supports long-term well-being. People meet Ursula in person and online, and she adapts the pace to each person’s needs.

Her background in multiple settings gives her practical tools for families juggling medical, emotional, and life transitions. She centers respect and steady support while helping people build strength and clearer communication. Ursula’s approach combines evidence-based strategies with an emphasis on everyday solutions.

Parents and family members find that therapy with her is focused on usable skills and compassionate guidance, rather than abstract theory.

Evidence-based approaches and online options

Ursula commonly uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. This approach breaks problems into manageable parts and teaches skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws from solution-focused techniques that zero in on immediate goals and small, practical changes to improve daily life. These methods work well for parenting challenges, coping with life transitions, and resolving communication issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. From there she adapts methods and pacing collaboratively so the plan fits the person’s real life and needs.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. These options allow for flexible scheduling and continued support between in-person visits when needed. Many people find remote sessions convenient for juggling family routines, medical appointments, and work commitments.
