More about Catherine
- 11 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am licensed in Texas and have 10 years of professional experience in counseling students and parents as well as adults from many varied backgrounds and experiences. Additionally, I have volunteered many counseling hours working with people in non-profit settings. Prior to my counseling experience, I was a speech therapist and worked with students of all ages and disabilities. This work often involved communication and social skill education and training. My counseling style is very laid back. I would characterize it as warm and enthusiastic.
Because depression and anxiety run in my family, I feel passionate about helping people in these areas. If you choose to work with me, we would discover and nurture the unique talents and skills you possess.
My treatment approaches would be classified as Cognitive Behavioral and Mindfulness. These two perspectives work well together in identifying troublesome thoughts, behaviors and physiological contributing factors.
Mindfulness - Based Cognitive Therapy
The essential focus of MBCT is an easy, step by step training in mindfulness. Mindfulness is a state of observing one’s thoughts and feelings without judging them good or bad. It is a purposeful active attention to what is happening in the moment. Additionally, it also emphasizes learning how to live in a calm body state as much as possible. When you are in a calm body state, anxiety cannot exist at the same time.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT Therapy states that our thoughts, feelings, emotions and bodily sensations are all connected and that we think and do affect the way we feel.
Additionally, I offer faith-based counseling upon request.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Very helpful and professional
Catherine has been very good in allowing me to sift through my problems and guiding me in the right direction
Catherine is wonderful. She listened carefully to my problems that I was having and we came up with solutions. I highly recommend her. She's active and will help you solve issues.
The best therapist I have ever had
Highly recommended! Catherine helped me get through some rough times. I appreciate her care and help.
Wonderful professional, taking the time to adjust to my needs and has done things at my pace!
Very helpful and easy to work with,
I really enjoyed speaking w Catherine. She is friendly, professional and knowledgeable.
My therapist talks to me in a way that I can relate.
Mrs. Rice is a very attentive counselor. She’s attentive to detail and makes you feel heard.
Miss Catherine Very quickly felt like a dear friend, although our attentions were mostly one way. She was open, responsive, and humble to my redirection initially even though I later discovered that she knew what was best for me all along. She let me work through what I thought I needed with patience and empathy, and she helped guide me through resolution of those issues as well. I got more from therapy with her than I ever gambled for. She is helping me not only work on things that I was convinced were a problem, but also work on things that will make me more my authentic self. I wish I had started therapy with her a long time ago before I had hit bottom. Anyone who’s ever met her is truly blessed.
Great listener ! Gives constructive and thought provoking feedback. Very satisfied with my therapist !
I enjoyed the session I had with Mrs Rice and definitely recommend her especially if you are a believer of God’s Word Jesus!
She is friendly and knowledgable and very accessible. She enjoys her job and helps reframe things in a positive light.
