About Ursula
Ursula Rice is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 23 years of experience helping adults navigate parenting stress, relationship strain, and life transitions. She speaks plainly and meets clients where they are, offering steady support when things feel overwhelming.
Parents juggling work, grief, health issues, or behavior concerns often look for practical ways forward, and she focuses on concrete steps to reduce pressure at home. Her background spans hospitals, schools, long-term care, independent practice, and telehealth programs.
Background and approach
That range shaped a practical approach to problems that involve both emotional and physical health. She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques and keeps sessions focused on what will make daily life easier. Ursula emphasizes a warm, collaborative style.
Sessions are conversational but goal-oriented, with an eye toward building skills you can use between meetings. She helps people identify strengths, try small changes, and track what works. Parents often want tools for stress, communication, and co-parenting challenges.
Ursula offers strategies to manage anxiety, mood, grief, and the fallout from past trauma while supporting stronger day-to-day routines. Her work with adults who live with medical conditions informs how she addresses fatigue and caregiving stress. She practices in Texas and provides services in English.
For people who prefer remote care, she uses video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging so parents can choose formats that fit busy schedules.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Ursula commonly uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral changes. That work tends to help with anxiety, low mood, and everyday parenting stress by breaking big problems into manageable steps.She also uses solution-focused techniques that zero in on immediate goals and what already works in your life. Those methods are useful when parents need quick, practical strategies for routines, communication, or managing overwhelm.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, schedule, and preferences. Over time they adjust the plan based on what is helpful and what is not.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy family lives. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports a quick check-in, and text lets people message between sessions. These options make it easier to get consistent support while managing work, school, and medical appointments.
