About Ariel

Ariel Rock is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York who centers care on clients seeking relief from stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strains, and challenges related to ADHD.

Background and approach

With eight years of experience across settings such as residential treatment, acute inpatient units, geriatric care, and independent practice, she brings practical knowledge from a range of clinical environments to individualized therapy. Her work draws on approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered techniques.

Ariel emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while collaborating with clients to craft treatment plans tailored to their circumstances. She has supported people through trauma and abuse, grief, parenting and family issues, mood and personality concerns, eating and body image struggles, addiction and co-occurring conditions, and skill development like emotion regulation and grounding.

Clients can expect a therapist who values empowerment and practical skill-building, who adapts dialog and interventions to each person’s needs, and who frames the therapeutic journey as a courageous step toward greater wellbeing.

How Ariel's Approaches Translate to Online Care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to help clients clarify personal values and learn practical ways to act on those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise; it often supports work on anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building skills to change behaviors and emotional responses, which can be useful for stress, mood concerns, and ADHD-related challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relationship patterns and emotional bonds to improve connection and interpersonal functioning, particularly in relational and family issues.

Finding the best approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques and adapt the plan as therapy progresses so clients can see what fits their needs best.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, caregiving, or other commitments, and they allow clients to access therapeutic tools and skills from wherever they are located in New York.
