About Rosemary
Rosemary Rice is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with three years of professional experience. She focuses on common concerns adults bring from home and work, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting pressures, addictions, grief, and sleep or eating difficulties.
She helps people talk through day-to-day problems and longer patterns that keep coming up. Sessions are straightforward and conversational. She listens for what matters most and then suggests ways to try different responses or new habits.
Her approach includes client-centered work that keeps the person's own goals in view. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and actions, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage strong emotions. These methods are mixed together as needed to match what a person wants to change.
Rosemary has worked with issues related to ADHD, trauma and abuse, mood and personality concerns, and compassion fatigue. She also pays attention to challenges like abandonment, communication problems, aging and life-purpose questions when they come up in sessions.
She offers therapy in English and Spanish. People in California looking for help with everyday relationship strain, parenting stress, or coping with mood and addictive behaviors can expect clear conversation and practical steps to try between meetings.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps clarify what change would look like. This approach helps with relationship concerns, parenting stress, and deciding on next steps.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions often include short exercises to notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors between meetings. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep or eating problems, and some addiction-related patterns.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. Online work can introduce basic DBT skills such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation in manageable steps that people practice in daily life.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then try approaches together to see what fits. That collaborative process helps determine whether to emphasize client-centered listening, CBT exercises, or DBT skills.

Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten travel time, and allow sessions during breaks or evenings. It also allows therapists to share worksheets and skills to practice between meetings.
