About Barbie
Barbie Rice uses a client-centered approach to create a calm, respectful space for people to talk about stress, anxiety, depression, and mood shifts. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with nine years of experience. Barbie frames sessions so clients feel heard and believed before moving toward goals.
She blends cognitive behavioral ideas with dialectical skills to help people notice unhelpful thinking and build practical strategies. That work is useful for panic attacks, low self-esteem, and managing impulsivity.
How Barbie works
Barbie also draws on existential ideas to help clients clarify meaning and life purpose during transitions. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, is part of her toolkit for processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional grip. Sessions focus on small steps so progress feels manageable.
Therapeutic choices are paced to match each person's needs. Barbie often helps with relationship concerns like communication problems, attachment wounds, abandonment fears, and issues that come up after separation. She also supports people facing body image struggles, guilt and shame, and cultural or multicultural concerns.
Her style is straightforward and encouraging. People can expect practical skills, gentle reflection, and support toward clearer goals. Barbie works with people in Texas and conducts sessions in English.

Online support options
Therapy approaches you can use online
Barbie uses client-centered therapy to build a respectful, listening-focused relationship. That approach makes sure sessions begin with what matters most to the person and grows from their strengths and priorities.She also applies cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people notice thoughts that fuel anxiety or low mood and replace them with more helpful habits. CBT is often used for panic attacks, worry, and depressive thinking. Dialectical behavior therapy adds concrete skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance, which can be useful when impulsivity or intense emotions get in the way of daily life.
Finding the right approach happens together. The therapist will talk through your goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps. That collaborative process aims to balance short-term skill-building with deeper meaning work when it fits your needs.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets you use visual cues and more traditional session rhythm. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter, on-the-go check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still using the same therapeutic approaches.
