About Ursula

Ursula Rice is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Texas. She offers steady, practical support for adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and pregnancy and childbirth related worries. Her tone is warm and collaborative, and she aims to help people find coping tools that work in day-to-day life.

Ursula brings 23 years of experience across hospitals, schools, long-term care, private practice, and telehealth. That variety has shaped a view of health that links emotional, physical, and social needs. She uses plain language and short-step strategies so coping skills can be put into practice quickly.

Her work often centers on women's life transitions, identity struggles, and healing after trauma. She also supports adults managing medical conditions, chronic pain, grief, and the stress of caregiving. Topics she addresses include self-esteem, intimacy issues, anger, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and family-of-origin problems.

Ursula typically draws on cognitive behavioral approaches, solution-focused techniques, and strengths-based work to help people set goals and test small changes. Sessions emphasize collaboration and practical planning rather than lengthy theory discussions. She aims to help people notice what helps and adjust as needed.

People who choose her can expect calm, direct guidance and an emphasis on usable skills. She invites prospective clients to reflect on what they want to change, then build steps toward those goals together.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Ursula commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies in her work. Cognitive behavioral methods look at patterns of thought and behavior and teach practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Solution-focused work emphasizes small, concrete steps and the client’s existing strengths to create change quickly.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. The plan can change over time based on what helps and what doesn’t, and progress is measured by real changes in daily life.

The therapist’s biography does not list which online session formats she offers, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer access from different locations in Texas. These practical benefits often help people maintain consistency and try new coping strategies between sessions.
