About Rosemary
Rosemary Rice is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, and self-esteem struggles. She speaks English and Spanish and focuses on practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable.
Background and approach
Rosemary keeps sessions straightforward and collaborative. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through worries, sort priorities, and try small changes.
Her work tends to emphasize skills for managing mood, coping with cravings, and repairing communication patterns. Her background includes three years working as a licensed marriage and family therapist - LMFT - in California.
During that time she has helped people deal with grief, trauma, sleep and eating concerns, anger, bipolar symptoms, and attention difficulties. She also supports those struggling with life purpose, isolation, and career transitions.
Rosemary draws on client-centered techniques to build rapport and on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and shift behavior. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills when needed.
Sessions are tailored to each person's goals and pace. People who choose Rosemary can expect simple, concrete tools and steady encouragement.
She aims to help clients find clearer direction, reduce overwhelming feelings, and build routines that support long-term wellbeing.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and showing understanding. In practice that means the therapist reflects back what someone says, helps them name their feelings, and supports them as they decide what changes to try. This approach is useful for people who want a supportive space to sort through difficult decisions and emotions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT usually involves identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them, and trying new behaviors between sessions to reduce anxiety or low mood. It is often helpful for stress, depression, and anxiety symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills like emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication. Those skills can be practiced in sessions and applied to crises or relationship conflicts to reduce reactivity and improve coping.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, pace, and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a brief check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing prompts and short updates. These options give flexibility for appointments around work, caregiving, or travel.
