About Alice

Alice Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 14 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and other life changes.

Alice focuses on clear, practical work in sessions. She listens to what is happening at home and helps people notice patterns that keep problems going. Conversations often include skill practice, problem solving, and steps to manage strong emotions like anger or panic.

Her toolbox includes client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, existential questions about meaning, and EMDR for trauma. Alice uses these approaches to address issues such as sleep and eating problems, intimacy and sexual concerns, ADHD, caregiver stress, and body image struggles.

She also works with people processing adoption and foster care histories, aging and geriatric issues, attachment concerns, and neurodiversity like autism and Asperger syndrome. Other focus areas listed include codependency, communication problems, and challenges related to kink and alternative sexual cultures.

Alice offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Payment varies by location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a person selects the online therapy options button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules a first session.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Alice commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep and anger. EMDR is an approach used for trauma recovery that involves processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional charge.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's experience. That approach emphasizes listening and reflecting so clients can describe what is hardest for them. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alice will discuss goals, preferences, and how different methods might help, and then adapt the plan as work progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biographical details, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or let someone avoid being on camera when they prefer. Licensed professionals can use these conveniences to help people practice skills and address day-to-day challenges without changing the core therapeutic work.
