About Alice
Alice Thompson is a licensed social worker in Michigan with 25 years of professional experience. She focuses on grief, loss, depression, anxiety, and other life stressors. She aims to make sessions feel approachable and straightforward for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
She creates a calm space where people can talk about hard feelings without judgment. Sessions are focused on practical steps and clear priorities. Alice encourages small, steady changes rather than quick fixes.
Background and approach
Her work often addresses trauma, intimacy-related struggles, parenting concerns, and coping with major life changes. She also has experience with issues such as hospice and end-of-life counseling, caregiving stress, and aging and geriatric matters. Additional areas include eating concerns, bipolar mood management, postpartum depression, and adjustment after injury or disaster.
Alice brings direct, steady support for people managing obsessive or compulsive behaviors, jealousy and infidelity, and the challenges of non-monogamous relationships. She also addresses multicultural concerns, HIV/AIDS related stress, hoarding, and visual impairment accommodations. Her license is LMSW - Licensed Master Social Worker - and she draws on many evidence-based therapeutic techniques.
Sessions can include conversation about feelings, coping skills practice, and problem-solving tailored to daily life. The goal is to help people find workable tools they can use between sessions.
Practical therapeutic methods for online care
Alice uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear skills and gentle change. One common approach involves teaching coping and emotion-regulation skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. These are straightforward exercises clients can practice between sessions to reduce overwhelm.Another frequent focus is grief and loss work, which combines compassionate listening with structured activities to remember, process, and adjust to changes. This helps people make practical plans while honoring their feelings. For trauma-related concerns she often uses trauma-informed strategies that emphasize safety, pacing, and grounding tools to reduce reactivity.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alice will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their life, and adjust techniques over time. She helps people choose what feels doable and meaningful, rather than imposing a single way of working.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy or geographically distant people. Video calls let sessions feel close to face-to-face, while phone, live chat, and text-based messaging provide shorter or more frequent check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily routines and to continue work between sessions.
