About Alice
Alice Griffin is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. She works with adults facing relationship strain, grief, trauma, and life changes. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at practical steps people can use right away.
Alice draws on 14 years of clinical experience in Pennsylvania to shape sessions around each person's needs. She listens first, then helps clients set clear goals and small, achievable steps.
Background and approach
Sessions often include talking through problems, practicing new habits, and learning skills to reduce overwhelm. Her approach mixes client-centered conversations with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also uses existential ideas to help people find meaning, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing for trauma work where appropriate.
These methods are applied in everyday language with concrete exercises people can try between sessions. Alice is comfortable addressing a wide variety of concerns such as addictions, eating and sleeping struggles, intimacy issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and career uncertainty. She also supports people exploring identity, LGBT concerns, and challenges around attachment and communication.
Clients can expect a collaborative atmosphere that balances empathy with practical coaching. The work often focuses on developing coping strategies, improving communication, and building self-esteem. Alice aims to help people make steady, manageable progress toward their goals.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Alice uses client-centered therapy to build a respectful, person-focused relationship where the client's goals guide the work. This approach emphasizes listening, reflection, and helping people articulate what matters most to them.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT to break down unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns into manageable steps. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related difficulties, and habits that get in the way of daily functioning. Dialectical behavior therapy or DBT provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings feel overwhelming.
Choosing an approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques in session, and adjust based on what feels most helpful. That collaboration helps tailor the work to each person's goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can support brief check-ins, and text messaging helps with ongoing coaching or quick skill reminders. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving schedules, and daily life.
