About Barbie
Barbie Rice is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas who centers therapy on making sense of life choices and meaning. She combines practical strategies with thoughtful conversation to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood struggles, and relationship strain. Many clients come for help with depression, bipolar symptoms, panic attacks, or low self-esteem.
Barbie emphasizes collaboration and respect for each person’s story. She draws on Existential principles to look at purpose, values, and the pressures that make decisions feel overwhelming.
Background and approach
That perspective is paired with Client-Centered methods that prioritize listening and the client’s own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills. Barbie also integrates skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and strong impulses are a concern.
She can apply EMDR approaches for clients processing disturbing memories or trauma symptoms. In practice this means tailoring tools to what a person needs that week and moving at a pace they can manage. Her work often addresses attachment and abandonment wounds, communication problems, body image, and midlife reevaluation.
She supports people navigating divorce, guilt, forgiveness, and multicultural stressors. The aim is often clearer choices, steadier mood, and more satisfying relationships. With nine years of experience, Barbie aims to make sessions straightforward and focused.
Conversations are practical and empathetic. Clients learn strategies to handle moments of crisis and to build healthier routines over time.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches work online
Existential Therapy helps people consider what matters to them and how to live with more meaning. Online sessions using this approach often focus on values, choices, and coping with life transitions or midlife questions. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes attentive listening and following the client’s lead, which can help someone feel heard and clearer about goals during remote meetings or messages.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and builds new behaviors through practice. In online work that can include reviewing thought records, setting small weekly goals, and trying new skills between sessions to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be a collaborative decision. The therapist will discuss goals, personal preferences, and which methods seem most helpful. Together they will adjust the plan as needs change so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat suits short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options aim to make attending sessions easier around work, family, and daily life commitments.
