About Ursula

Ursula Rice is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 23 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anger, loss, and life transitions. She offers steady, practical support for adults who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or pulled in many directions. Her style is warm and collaborative, aimed at helping each person find realistic steps forward.

Ursula has worked in hospitals, schools, long-term care settings, private practice, and telehealth. Those years of practice shaped a view of health that links emotional, mental, and physical needs. She focuses on issues such as trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, parenting strains, and anger. She also supports people living with chronic illness, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and the challenges that come with caregiving and aging.

In sessions she uses straightforward tools drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches, solution-focused thinking, and strengths-based work. That means identifying unhelpful patterns, testing new ways of coping, and building on what already works. Conversations are paced to fit each person’s needs and life demands.

Ursula aims to help clients develop practical coping skills and clearer communication habits. She helps people plan small experiments to shift difficult emotions and behaviors. Over time the work often leads to better day-to-day functioning and clearer next steps.

Based in Texas, Ursula provides services in English and does not accept international clients. To begin, people select the Start Therapy button, fill a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care

Ursula commonly draws from cognitive behavioral ideas and solution-focused work. Cognitive behavioral methods look at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teach concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is helpful for problems like anxiety, depression, anger, and day-to-day stress. Solution-focused work emphasizes short-term goals and practical steps, helping people test small changes and build momentum toward improvement.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick methods that match their goals, preferences, and current needs. That choice may shift over time as progress is made or circumstances change.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for check-ins during breaks or from different locations. It can also let someone choose shorter or more frequent sessions when a quick check-in is useful. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and communication styles to work well in remote sessions, focusing on what helps the person move forward.
