About Rosemary

Rosemary Rice is a licensed marriage and family therapist who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship challenges, self-esteem and career concerns, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She brings three years of formal licensure in California and additional years of clinical experience focused on mood disorders, trauma and abuse, grief, sleep and eating issues, and compassion fatigue. Her practice also attends to a wide range of related concerns such as bipolar symptoms, anger, and parenting struggles.

Rosemary emphasizes a nonjudgmental, collaborative approach that encourages clients to explore thoughts and feelings openly. She integrates client-centered principles with evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients build practical skills, reframe unhelpful patterns, and regulate emotions.

Sessions aim to clarify goals and identify small, achievable steps that align with each person's values and life purpose. Conversations may include support around communication problems, commitment or separation challenges, neurodiversity-related issues, and isolation or life transitions.

She offers services in English and Spanish for individuals located in California and focuses on helping people develop greater confidence, resilience, and clarity as they move toward meaningful change.

Approaches and Online Therapy Options



Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and supporting clients to identify their own goals; it helps people feel heard and empowered to explore values and direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) emphasizes identifying and changing thought patterns and behaviors that maintain distress, and it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and problem behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to manage intense emotions and improve relationships.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to review needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapts methods or combines techniques to find the best fit rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online sessions include video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules or those who prefer remote care. These formats make it easier to attend regular sessions, practice skills between meetings, and maintain continuity of care when schedules change, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor interactions to each client's communication style.
