About Ursula

Ursula Rice is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Texas with 23 years of clinical experience. She has worked in hospitals, schools, long-term care, private practice, and telehealth settings. She focuses on family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, grief, and related issues listed in her specialties.

Ursula draws on many practical approaches to help adults manage stress and life changes. She uses straightforward conversation and concrete coping tools. She helps people identify patterns tied to family of origin, communication, and relationship strain. Sessions emphasize skills that can be used day to day.

Her background includes working with people who are facing chronic illness or caregiving stress. She has experience supporting those handling separation, blended family challenges, abandonment concerns, and attachment-related issues. Her clinical practice also addresses anger, intimacy-related struggles, bipolar disorder, and ADHD when these affect daily life.

Ursula aims to be collaborative in session. She often uses techniques from cognitive behavioral approaches, solution-focused work, and strengths-based methods to help clients practice new responses. The focus is on small, manageable changes rather than overwhelming plans.

People seeking help with communication problems, control issues, codependency, or making life decisions will find a clinician who uses clear steps and practical tools. She works with adult clients from Texas and provides services in English.

How sessions work

Approaches that guide online sessions

Ursula frequently uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. This approach breaks larger problems into smaller steps and provides clear skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also uses solution-focused techniques that concentrate on immediate goals and practical next steps. These methods are useful when someone wants short-term problem solving around parenting difficulties, communication, or coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each adult to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and daily life. Together they will try strategies and adjust the plan based on what helps most.

Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that works better for a client. Some formats may be better for people who need to conserve bandwidth or prefer not to be on camera, while others allow longer, more in-depth conversations.
