About Alice

Alice Rock uses practical, evidence-based therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and life transitions. She combines clear techniques with steady support so clients can build routines that feel manageable. Alice is a licensed mental health counselor and a licensed professional counselor, and she brings a straightforward, calm presence to sessions.

She spent many years doing substance abuse counseling in a hospital setting in Iowa. She also worked as a school counselor with kindergarten through eighth grade and taught college psychology courses, including a wellness class.

Background and approach

That mix of settings gave her broad exposure to counseling theories and brain development across ages. Her work often emphasizes learning healthy habits and sustaining balance. She draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and take small, steady steps toward change.

Attachment-based ideas and emotionally focused techniques inform how she looks at relationships and closeness. Alice favors clear, concrete plans in sessions. She helps people make realistic goals for sleep, eating, managing anger, or reducing substance use.

Sessions also cover parenting topics, grief, career concerns, and coping with life changes when those issues come up. With ten years of clinical experience, Alice aims to blend practical skills with attention to the person’s life story. She works from Arizona and offers sessions in English for people both inside and outside the country.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Alice often uses cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to guide online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to improve mood and daily functioning. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people notice uncomfortable feelings without getting stuck and take steps that match their values, which is useful for anxiety, addiction, and life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Alice treats it as a team effort. She will talk with clients about their struggles and goals, try a method, and adjust based on what helps most. That collaborative stance makes it easier to pick techniques that fit each person’s life and needs.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These options let people work on sleep routines, parenting strategies, coping with grief, or addiction recovery from home or while traveling. The variety of formats helps fit therapy into busy schedules and different comfort levels.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
