About Barbie
Barbie Rice is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who uses a people-focused approach to help with stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and relationship struggles. She keeps sessions straightforward and practical so busy parents can follow along. Barbie emphasizes each person's strengths and helps clients build on them step by step.
With nine years of clinical experience, she combines Client-Centered listening with goal-oriented strategies. That means she listens first, then works with clients to set small, manageable steps.
Background and approach
She often uses cognitive behavioral tools to spot unhelpful thinking and DBT skills to reduce overwhelm. Barbie also integrates existential conversations about meaning and direction when people are rethinking life goals. She uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as one tool for processing past events that keep causing pain.
Sessions are practical and paced to the person's comfort. In a typical meeting she focuses on what is most pressing - panic attacks, low mood, relationship conflict, self-esteem, or a midlife shift - and builds a plan together. She pays attention to cultural background and how it shapes choices and stress.
Her work is direct but warm, aiming to empower people to make changes that fit their day-to-day lives. Barbie helps clients practice new skills between sessions so progress continues outside the meeting time.

Online support
How therapy methods adapt to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and empathy, helping people feel heard and understood so they can identify their own next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers concrete exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which often translate well to worksheets and exercises shared online. EMDR involves working with distressing memories using bilateral stimulation techniques as one part of processing past events that keep causing distress.Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, symptoms, and preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, DBT tools, EMDR processing, or a client-centered pace depending on what feels most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth sessions and visual cues. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text are helpful for shorter updates, practicing skills between sessions, or when writing thoughts feels clearer. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
