About Alice

Alice Nelson is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on practical, down-to-earth help for people feeling overwhelmed. She uses clear, evidence-informed methods to help clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. The tone in sessions is warm and straightforward, with attention to each person’s goals and values.

Nelson works from approaches that encourage understanding how early connections shape current patterns and how thoughts and behaviors interact. Sessions often include simple exercises to practice between meetings.

Background and approach

She explains tools in everyday language and checks in about what feels useful. Her background includes seven years of clinical experience in Texas as an LPC. That experience includes helping people with mood disorders, addiction concerns, eating and body image issues, trauma, and grief.

She also addresses concerns such as anger, impulsivity, ADHD, and attachment-related difficulties. Therapy typically blends strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and attachment-focused work. These approaches are used to build coping skills, manage emotions, and improve communication.

Nelson also draws on mindfulness and narrative techniques when they fit a person’s needs. Conversations in sessions are practical and paced to what the client can handle. Progress is tracked through small, achievable steps rather than big promises.

For parents and caregivers searching under family and parenting topics, Nelson’s style aims to be clear, steady, and useful for everyday life.

Approach and flexibility for online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they connect with others and supports building healthier ways to relate. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; it offers clear exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving emotional regulation in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then tailor methods together. This collaborative process makes it easier to choose techniques that feel useful and realistic for daily life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to follow up between sessions and practice new skills in real time. The combination of clear approaches and flexible scheduling is designed to help people make steady, practical progress.

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.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
