Alice Rock , LMHC, LPC

Alice Rock is a licensed clinician holding the credentials LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor and LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor, with 10 years of professional experience. She is based in Arizona and is accepting clients, including international clients. Her clinical roots include many years working in substance abuse counseling within a hospital setting in Iowa, combined with experience as a school counselor for grades K-8 and as an instructor of college-level psychology courses.

As an educator she most enjoyed teaching a course called "Wellness," which explored the links between physical health and mental well-being, and that emphasis on whole-person balance informs her therapeutic work. She integrates wellness and long-term balance into sessions while drawing on a range of evidence-informed approaches. Alice works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, issues of intimacy and self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other life transitions and coping needs.

Her style blends practical skill-building with attention to attachment and emotional experience, aiming to help clients develop sustainable strategies for recovery, improved relationships, and a healthier sense of self. She provides services in English and offers flexible session formats to meet varied client needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify what matters most to them and develop actions that align with those values while learning to make space for difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions where people want to move toward meaningful goals despite internal barriers.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships that began in early life and explores how those patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. This approach can help with intimacy-related issues, family and attachment struggles, and rebuilding secure ways of relating.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and support as the client explores their experience. It suits individuals seeking a collaborative, strengths-based path to greater self-understanding and resilience.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work - Alice will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may integrate techniques from several approaches. Online therapy offers practical flexibility - appointments by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, access therapy from different locations, and maintain continuity of care when life changes occur.
