About Rosemary

Rosemary Rice is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with three years of licensed practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, addictions, low self-esteem, career struggles, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Rosemary keeps conversations direct and practical. She encourages people to talk through their immediate concerns, notice patterns, and try small changes that can make daily life easier. She aims to help clients manage upsetting emotions, rebuild confidence, and handle conflict more calmly.

Her approach mixes client-centered listening with methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. That means time is spent both on understanding what matters to a person and on practicing specific skills to change unhelpful thoughts or reactions. Worksheets, role plays, and simple behavior steps may be used when helpful.

Clients with trauma, grief, sleep or eating problems, parenting stress, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, or compassion fatigue can bring those issues into sessions. Rosemary also works with people facing life transitions such as divorce, aging concerns, or career changes. She acknowledges the strain of feeling isolated and helps people reconnect to what matters to them.

Her background centers on straightforward, person-focused work rather than lengthy theory. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform. Fees vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Working with Client-Centered, CBT and DBT approaches online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarifies their goals before deciding what to try next.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and small behavior experiments to reduce unhelpful thinking patterns and lessen reactive anger.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. These skills are useful for managing intense reactions and improving interactions with others.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Rosemary will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process can include trying different techniques and adjusting based on what helps.

The original profile does not list specific session formats. Before booking, confirm the current online session options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, appointments, or family life. They also allow shorter check-ins when a full visit is not needed, or sessions without video when bandwidth or comfort is a concern.
