About Barbie
Barbie Rice is a Licensed Professional Counselor who centers therapy on the person in the room. She works from a client-centered perspective and aims to help people notice their strengths and take small steps toward change. Her tone is supportive and practical for those feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
She has nine years of professional experience in Texas and has guided people through stress, anxiety, depression, and bipolar mood concerns. She also helps with self-esteem, motivation, and relationship struggles. Sessions focus on clear goals rather than vague promises.
Her approach blends client-centered work with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when useful. She may draw on existential ideas to help people find meaning, and on EMDR techniques for processing traumatic memories when appropriate. These tools are used to match what each person needs in the moment.
In sessions she listens without judgement and helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck. Then she supports testing small changes, practicing new ways of coping, and building predictable routines. The overall aim is steady progress that fits daily life.
Barbie believes change begins with a clear plan and steady support. She helps people set realistic next steps and stay accountable. The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can manage.
How therapy approaches are used in online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s needs and values, with the therapist listening and reflecting so clients can make their own choices. This approach helps when someone needs a safe space to sort feelings and figure out goals.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and panic. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when strong emotions get in the way.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean starting with client-centered conversations, adding CBT exercises, or practicing DBT skills together.
Confirm current session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it easier to schedule around work or school. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skills practice to the online setting so progress continues between visits.
