About Alice

Alice Griffin, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania, has 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and life changes. Her practice also addresses issues such as parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, career stress, and intimacy-related difficulties.

Alice uses conversational, client-centered methods and structured tools in sessions. She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to build coping skills and manage overwhelming emotions. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when trauma processing is appropriate.

Sessions are described by Alice as collaborative. She helps clients identify practical steps, try new ways of responding, and track progress over time. Conversations focus on immediate problems and the skills that reduce symptom severity and improve daily functioning.

Her background includes work across many presenting concerns and additional focuses such as attachment issues, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, body image, and alternative sexual cultures. This breadth means she often addresses overlapping problems like co-morbidity and communication breakdowns.

Alice works in English and accepts international clients. She emphasizes clear goals and regular review of techniques so people can see what changes in and out of sessions. To start, she asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment.

How her approaches translate to online care

Alice commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in her work. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR helps process distressing memories and can reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities. DBT skills teach concrete strategies for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and tolerating distress without impulsive reactions. The therapist and client review which approaches fit the presenting problem and the client's goals, and they adjust methods together over time.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into work and family routines, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and make consistent weekly work easier to maintain. The therapist discusses practical arrangements and selects approaches that best match each person's needs and schedule.
