About Rosemary

Rosemary Rice is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing low self esteem, anxiety, depression, and stress. She supports those struggling with addiction, relationship strain, career concerns, grief, and sleep or eating problems. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in California. Rosemary frames therapy as a brave first step toward more confidence and clearer direction. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. Conversations cover patterns that hold someone back and new habits to try in daily life. Her background includes three years holding an active California LMFT license since 2021 and additional prior experience working with related concerns. That mix gives a foundation for addressing mood problems, trauma, compassion fatigue, and issues like ADHD or bipolar mood swings. Rosemary draws on client-centered methods to follow each person's priorities. She also uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking and from dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. These approaches are applied plainly and with concrete practice. People often leave sessions with specific ideas to test between meetings - small steps toward better self worth, clearer boundaries, or steadier moods. Rosemary aims to meet each person where they are and help them shape a path they can sustain.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's own goals and perspective. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client's priorities so sessions feel relevant and respectful. This helps when someone wants support for self esteem, life purpose, or relationship concerns.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. It breaks problems into small, testable steps and teaches practical exercises to change thinking patterns that feed anxiety or depression. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping during distressful moments.

Finding the best mix of approaches happens together. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and what feels most useful. That collaborative process guides which methods are emphasized and how skills are practiced between meetings.

The practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and the chance to fit therapy into a busy day. Because session formats are not specified in the profile, confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to continue therapy during life changes without losing focus on everyday skills and progress.
