About Alice

Alice Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 14 years of experience helping people handle stress, anxiety, addiction, and major life changes. She supports people coping with depression, relationship struggles, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Alice also works with clients facing parenting challenges, career questions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, among other concerns.

Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. She listens first, then helps clients set practical goals. Sessions focus on real-life skills people can use between meetings. Alice aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space for honest conversation.

Alice draws on several approaches to match what a client needs. She uses client-centered methods to follow the person’s lead, cognitive behavioral work to spot unhelpful thinking, and EMDR for trauma-related concerns when appropriate. Dialectical behavior therapy and existential ideas also inform her work when they serve a client’s goals.

Over her career she has helped people with a broad range of issues, including trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping problems, chronic health concerns, and relationship communication. She also supports people exploring sexual identity and kink-related concerns and those dealing with adoption, abandonment, or caregiver stress.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and therapist availability; sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, select the Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Alice uses client-centered methods that follow the person’s needs and priorities. This approach focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client, and it helps people clarify goals and make steady changes.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT is practical and often includes exercises to practice between sessions, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy principles may be brought in to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills are helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or when people want better ways to manage conflict and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and tailor methods based on a client’s needs, goals, and preferences so treatment feels like a collaborative process.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and make scheduling across time zones more practical for international clients. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice to an online setting so progress continues between meetings.
