Ursula Rice, LCSW

Ursula Rice is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 23 years of experience helping adults navigate relationship concerns, jealousy, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She presents as warm and collaborative, and she aims to make therapy understandable and practical for people under stress. Her work often centers on building coping tools and strengthening everyday skills that reduce overwhelm. Ursula’s background includes work in hospitals, schools, long-term care settings, independent practice, and telehealth programs. That variety shaped her view that mental, emotional, and physical health are linked. She uses straightforward approaches so people can try things between sessions and notice small changes. She often draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused techniques, and strengths-based work to help clients identify patterns and try new responses. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on skills you can use right away. Ursula helps people facing relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, chronic illness, and identity shifts. Her experience includes supporting adults through trauma and abuse, bipolar mood management, anger and control issues, and caregiving stress. She also addresses attachment concerns, blended family challenges, and codependency, using practical strategies rather than jargon. People who choose Ursula tend to want a steady, compassionate clinician who offers clear steps and real-world tools. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Ursula commonly uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship worries because it breaks problems into small, changeable parts.

She also uses solution-focused techniques that concentrate on current strengths and practical steps. Those methods are short-term and goal-directed, helping clients identify what works and repeat it. A strengths-based perspective highlights existing abilities and builds confidence for coping with life changes and caregiving demands.

Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try ideas, and adjust plans based on what helps. This collaborative stance means clients are invited to give feedback and shape the work over time.

Confirm the therapist's current online session options before booking so you know how sessions are delivered. Many people appreciate online work because it can fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and make it easier to check in during a break or between appointments. Some options also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, which can help keep momentum without taking a long block of time.
