About Rosemary
Rosemary Rice is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with three years of formal licensure. She supports adults dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, addictions, relationship strain, parenting pressures, sleep and eating concerns, and work- or career-related difficulties.
She keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. Rosemary listens first, then helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She uses clear, practical tools so clients can try new strategies between sessions rather than only talking about problems.
Her approach blends person-centered conversation with evidence-based techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. That mix is used to manage intense moods, spot unhelpful thinking, and build concrete coping skills. Sessions often include skill practice, simple behavioral experiments, and planning for real-life situations.
Rosemary works in both English and Spanish. She frames goals in everyday terms - sleep better, argue less, reduce urges, or handle workplace stress with more control. She asks concrete questions about what currently helps and what gets in the way.
People meeting her can expect a direct, practical style aimed at identifying small changes that add up. She guides each client toward clearer choices and regular practice. To start, she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Rosemary uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters to the client and build practical goals. That approach means sessions start with the client's current concerns so therapy stays focused on real problems people bring in, such as anger at home or stress at work.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with small experiments. CBT helps with mood, anxiety, sleep, and patterns of reacting angrily by breaking problems into manageable steps and homework exercises.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills are practical tools for managing intense feelings and reducing impulsive reactions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Rosemary discusses goals and preferences with each client and adapts methods accordingly. The decision about which skills to practice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Formats for sessions are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly use online work to help clients apply skills in everyday settings and keep momentum between sessions.
