Rosemary Rice, LMFT

Rosemary Rice is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, depression, relationship struggles, addictions, or trouble with sleep and eating. She also supports those facing grief, trauma, workplace strain, low self-esteem, and questions about life purpose.

She uses plain conversation to find what matters to each person. Sessions focus on practical steps that can change daily habits and reduce emotional pain. She listens first, then works collaboratively to set clear goals and small, doable actions.

Rosemary draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, nonjudgmental space and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation or distress tolerance are needed. These approaches are mixed to match what each person needs.

With three years of post-licensure experience as an LMFT, she combines direct guidance with supportive coaching. People can expect straightforward feedback, skill practice, and check-ins on progress. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

Her practice offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a time that fits their routine.

Online therapy approaches and what they do

Rosemary uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors that reduce anxiety or low mood. CBT sessions often include simple homework tasks to try different responses to difficult situations. Client-Centered Therapy is also part of her work, which focuses on listening closely and creating a respectful space where a person can talk through feelings and choices. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when someone needs tools for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, or handling relationship conflicts.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to learn what feels useful, adjust methods as progress is made, and check in about goals and preferences. The aim is to find techniques that fit a person’s daily life and concerns rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video can mirror a face-to-face visit for focused work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can fit quick check-ins or short skill practice. These options help people fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel and let therapists provide consistent support across different routines.
