About Alice

Alice Griffin is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, relationship struggles, and other life changes. Her work also covers parenting concerns, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are practical and focused on what feels most urgent for each person. Alice listens first and then helps clients set small, achievable goals. She uses clear tools rather than jargon.

Background and approach

Clients can expect straightforward talk, coping skills, and step-by-step problem solving. She aims to make therapy feel useful from the start. Her background includes 14 years of clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns.

Alice draws on evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR alongside client-centered listening. She adapts techniques to fit each person’s situation rather than following a single script. Alice also addresses specific issues such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and body image.

She works with people dealing with complex combinations of challenges and co-morbidity. The focus is on building coping skills and clearer communication. She offers multiple session formats including video, phone, live chat, and text messaging.

English-language services are provided and international clients may be supported. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Alice blends client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping each person find their own answers. It suits people who need a supportive space to talk and process feelings. Cognitive behavioral therapy is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It provides practical skills for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress.

She treats the choice of method as a shared decision. Early sessions prioritize understanding goals and trying approaches that match those goals. If a strategy isn't helping, she works with the client to adjust it or try something different. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving demands, or limited local resources. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, while chat and messaging can be useful for brief check-ins and practicing skills between meetings. Overall, online work aims to make effective therapy more accessible and easier to fit into daily life.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
