Rosemary Rice

Rosemary Rice is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, and self-esteem. Her tone is straightforward and practical, and she aims to help people move toward clearer choices and steadier days.

She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about what is hardest right now. Sessions center on immediate concerns and on small, practical changes that add up over time. Rosemary listens for patterns in thoughts, behaviors, and relationships, then helps people try new ways of responding.

Her work blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral tools and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. That mix is used to reduce intense emotions, manage unhelpful thinking, and build coping strategies that fit daily life. She checks in often to see what is working and what needs to change.

Rosemary draws on three years of formal experience as an LMFT and additional years in related helping roles. She speaks English and Spanish and works with people dealing with grief, trauma, mood challenges, ADHD, parenting strain, and identity concerns. She also supports those facing life transitions like career shifts, divorce, or aging.

Clients who choose her can expect clear goals, practical homework between sessions, and a steady focus on skills that ease overwhelming moments. Rosemary encourages people to take the next step when they feel ready and helps set an achievable plan for moving forward.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The therapist reflects what she hears and follows the person's lead to build trust and clarity. It helps when someone feels stuck or unheard.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches simple experiments and exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. This is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing anger responses.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers specific skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. Skills include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These tools are helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or repetitive patterns cause conflict.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match goals and preferences. Together they will try tools, track what helps, and adjust the plan as needed.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find virtual work makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduces travel time, and allows shorter check-ins when needed. The therapist and client will discuss how to structure sessions so they work in everyday life and support real change.
