Alice Rock, LMHC, LPC

Alice Rock uses cognitive behavioral therapy as a starting point to help people untangle thoughts and behaviors that cause distress. She pairs practical tools with a straightforward style. Sessions focus on skills that can be used between meetings to reduce anxiety, manage cravings, and improve mood.

Alice brings ten years of clinical experience. Much of that time was spent doing substance abuse counseling in a hospital setting in Iowa. She also worked as a school counselor with kindergarten through eighth grade students and taught college-level psychology courses. That mix of settings shaped a practical, down-to-earth approach.

She emphasizes wellness and long-term balance in her work. Conversations may include coping strategies for stress, sleep and eating problems, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and grief. She also addresses trauma, addictions, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and career or life transitions.

Alice uses acceptance and commitment therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take action toward them. Attachment-based and emotionally-focused perspectives inform how she looks at relationships and intimacy-related issues. Client-centered listening guides the pace of sessions so people feel heard and respected.

Alice holds licensure as an LMHC and an LPC and works with people in Arizona and beyond. Sessions can take different forms to fit busy lives, and the focus is on real changes that matter day to day.

Flexible approaches for online care

CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, and managing cravings related to addiction. Acceptance and commitment therapy focuses on clarifying what matters and taking committed action toward those values, which can help with stress, life changes, and motivation.

Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can guide work on intimacy, communication problems, abandonment fears, and family of origin issues. Alice will collaborate with each person to find the mix of approaches that fits their goals and preferences. Together they will decide which methods to try and adjust as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow for shorter check-ins or ongoing written support between meetings. These options make it easier to keep steady progress while balancing work, care responsibilities, and other demands.
