About Barbie
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 9 years of experience, Barbie Rice focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and depression. She works with people who want straightforward help for mood and relationship challenges. Sessions are offered in English and reflect a practical approach to everyday problems.
Barbie centers her work on the person in the room. She uses client-centered ideas to listen and reflect what matters to each client. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. Sessions include clear discussion, goal-setting, and tools people can try between meetings.
When relationships are a concern, she helps people talk through communication problems, control issues, and attachment-related worries. She also addresses topics such as abandonment, forgiveness, guilt, shame, and body image in concrete terms rather than abstract theory. For mood disorders she combines practical skill-building with exploration of values and life purpose where that fits.
Barbie has experience supporting people facing panic attacks, impulsivity, narcissism concerns, and midlife transitions. Her approach can include elements from dialectical behavior therapy and EMDR when those methods match a person's needs and goals. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and works with each person to choose what to try next.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client, helping people describe their goals and make choices that fit their life. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, actions, and feelings, and provides practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers strategies for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions feel intense.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as therapy proceeds.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require. If a client prefers a call rather than video, or needs a session that focuses on a concrete skill practice instead of a longer exploration, those preferences can be discussed and arranged as part of planning therapy.
