Alice Rock , LMHC, LPC

Alice Rock is a licensed counselor with a background that spans clinical, educational, and academic settings. She holds the credentials LMHC and LPC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor - and brings 10 years of professional experience to her practice. Her clinical work includes extensive substance abuse counseling in a hospital setting in Iowa, paired with hands-on experience as a school counselor for students in grades K-8.

In addition to direct counseling roles, she has taught college-level psychology courses and found particular fulfillment teaching a course called "Wellness," which explored the interconnection of physical and mental health. That emphasis on whole-person wellness now informs her therapeutic approach, encouraging long-term balance and practical strategies that support both emotional and everyday functioning.

Alice integrates her breadth of experience to support people facing addiction, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, mood concerns, and a wide range of life stressors. She approaches each person with an emphasis on wellness, resilience, and sustainable change, adapting methods to fit the individual needs and goals presented in therapy.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Alice draws from evidence-informed approaches to guide her work and meets clients where they are. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and develop practical skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to meaningful action; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections and emotional regulation, which can be especially helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment issues, and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaboration, creating a supportive space where individuals feel heard and can pursue personal growth and self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy itself. Alice works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. That collaborative stance ensures therapy stays relevant and responsive.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied circumstances. Sessions can occur by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to maintain continuity of care from different locations and at different times. These options help connect people with licensed professionals in ways that fit their daily lives and responsibilities.
