Practitioner record · Checked 9 Oct 2026
Ursula Rice has been in practice 23 years and is licensed in Texas. Ursula lists family conflicts, trauma and abuse and parenting issues among 46 subjects on the BetterHelp roster.
Everything below is either quoted from Ursula's own BetterHelp listing, taken from public licensing records, or written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such. Nothing here is an availability promise, a review, or a rating.
01 · Who Ursula works with
Ursula lists 13 specialisms and 33 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Ursula chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.
02 · In Ursula's own words
Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.
Hello, I’m Ursula, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been practicing since 1997. For more than two decades, I’ve had the privilege of working with adults, families, and communities in a variety of settings - including hospitals, schools, long-term care facilities, private practice, and telehealth programs. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of how mental, emotional, and physical health are connected, and how each person’s journey is unique.
I specialize in women’s issues - supporting women through life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, identity struggles, and healing from past trauma. I also work with adults managing medical conditions, anxiety, and depression, helping them build coping tools and prevent crisis situations.
My therapy style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. I often draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and strengths-based approaches. My goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can be open, discover your strengths, and move toward the life you want.
If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your healing journey.

03 · What happens next
Ursula practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Ursula's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.
BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Ursula at this point.
BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Ursula is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Ursula.
You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.
A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.
Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.
04 · Before you commit
Built from what Ursula actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Ursula's - Ursula has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.
“How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”
Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.
“With 23 years in, what has changed most in how you work?”
Long experience is only an advantage if it has been examined. This tends to surface whether it has.
“How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”
On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

06 · Provenance
Ursula's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.
The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.
Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Ursula. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
