About Alice
Alice Rock is a licensed mental health counselor who blends practical methods with a warm, straightforward style. She draws on a decade of clinical experience to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach
She has also worked as a school counselor for kindergarten through eighth grade and taught college psychology courses, including a popular class called Wellness. That background gives her familiarity with counseling theories and with how the brain and behavior connect. In sessions she emphasizes balance and long-term wellbeing.
She uses approaches such as acceptance and commitment strategies, cognitive behavioral tools, and attachment-informed work to address coping, relationships, and patterns that cause distress. She also draws on emotionally focused and client-centered ideas to help people feel heard while they try new ways of responding.
Alice helps with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting stress, career changes, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people struggling with ADHD, bipolar concerns, substance use, and codependency. Her style is down-to-earth and practical.
Sessions aim to clarify what matters to the person and to build manageable skills and routines. People who prefer collaborative, goal-oriented conversations often find this approach helpful.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Alice often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and still act toward what matters to them. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress, and navigating life changes by focusing on values and small committed steps.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-focused, which can help with mood, sleep, eating, and managing addictive patterns.
Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest which methods fit best. That decision can change over time as needs shift and progress is tracked collaboratively.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, coping tools, or when a written exchange fits someones routine. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep consistent work on goals without extra travel.
