About Ursula
Ursula Rice is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas with 23 years of practice. She focuses on supporting adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, and codependency concerns. Her approach is warm and collaborative, and she aims to help people find practical ways to feel steadier day to day.
Ursula has worked in hospitals, schools, long-term care settings, private practice, and telehealth programs. Those varied roles shaped her view that mental, emotional, and physical health are connected. She uses that perspective to help people manage chronic illness, caregiver stress, and life transitions without assuming a single path for everyone.
In sessions she draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused methods, and strengths-based work. That means she and the client look for patterns that cause distress, try small changes that can make life easier, and build on what is already working. She emphasizes practical tools that can be used between meetings.
Ursula often supports women facing identity shifts, relationship strain, and recovery from past trauma, and she works with adults managing medical conditions and mood concerns. Her style is nonjudgmental and grounded in compassion, aimed at creating a space where clients can speak honestly and test new ways of coping.
She invites people who want steady, practical help to take the next step and explore what approach fits their goals and daily life.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online help
Ursula often uses cognitive behavioral approaches which focus on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. This approach is practical and offers tools people can try between sessions to change daily routines and reactions.She also uses solution-focused methods that zero in on specific goals and quick steps forward. Those sessions tend to be goal-oriented and work well when someone wants concrete changes, such as improving communication or managing parenting stress. Ursula pairs these with strengths-based work that highlights what the client already does well and builds on those abilities to cope with life changes.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different methods, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques fit a person’s needs and preferences.
Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current scheduling and formats before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit into a busy day, reduce travel time, and make it easier to keep regular appointments. Online sessions can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and let clients join from different locations, making it simpler to maintain continuity of care.
