Alice Rock, LMHC, LPC

Alice Rock is an LMHC and an LPC with ten years of clinical experience. She practices in Arizona and works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationships, self-esteem, depression, and related concerns such as grief, trauma, and intimacy issues.

She spent many years doing substance abuse counseling in a hospital setting in Iowa. She also worked as a school counselor for grades K-8 and taught college psychology courses, including a popular Wellness class. That mix of settings shaped a practical, skills-focused way of working.

In sessions she connects emotional work with everyday habits. She discusses how sleep, eating, and daily routines affect mood and coping. She uses concrete strategies from approaches like cognitive behavioral methods and acceptance-based exercises to help clients manage symptoms and make small changes.

Attachment themes and relationship patterns are a common focus. Clients who struggle with people-pleasing, boundary problems, or codependency find she looks at early family patterns and current relationship dynamics. She brings emotionally-focused and attachment-based ideas into those conversations.

Alice frames therapy around realistic goals and steady practices. She draws on her teaching background to explain concepts plainly and to give practical exercises people can try between sessions. Her work often blends talking, behavioral tasks, and attention to routines people can maintain long term.
