Ursula Rice

Ursula Rice is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than two decades of experience. She welcomes adults who are coping with grief, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting stress, or major life transitions. Her approach is calm and practical, aimed at helping people find tools that fit daily life.

Ursula has worked in hospitals, schools, long-term care, private practice, and telehealth programs since 1997. Those settings gave her a broad view of how mental, emotional, and physical health interact for each person. She brings that perspective into sessions to help people manage symptoms and prevent crises.

She often supports women through life transitions, identity concerns, relationship challenges, and recovery from past trauma. She also helps adults who are managing medical conditions, chronic illness, and caregiver stress by focusing on coping strategies and realistic problem solving.

Her style is warm, collaborative, and compassionate. Ursula commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques, solution-focused methods, and strengths-based work to help clients identify patterns and build practical steps forward. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on actionable skills.

Ursula practices in Texas and uses plain language in sessions so people can understand and apply ideas quickly. She aims to be a steady partner as clients navigate change, heal from loss, or rebuild confidence in relationships and daily life.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Ursula commonly draws from cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused methods. Cognitive behavioral approaches help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Solution-focused work centers on small, practical changes and goals to move forward from stress or life transitions.

She also uses a strengths-based perspective that highlights a person’s existing resources and builds on what works. That approach aims to boost confidence and create realistic plans for coping with caregiving, chronic illness, grief, or relationship problems. Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process; the therapist and client decide together what feels most useful and adjust over time.

The biography notes experience with telehealth programs but does not list specific session types here, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for check-ins between appointments when needed. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to teach coping skills, review progress, and set practical steps clients can use at home or during the day.
