About Alice

Alice Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, depression, and addiction. She also supports concerns such as grief, parenting strain, intimacy and relationship difficulties, ADHD, and career transitions. Alice writes plainly and listens closely so people can make practical changes that fit their life.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on clear goals and skills you can use between meetings. She blends talking therapies with focused coping tools to address panic, low mood, anger, and sleep disruption. Expect a mix of problem-solving and reflective conversation rather than technical jargon.

Alice draws on several well-known approaches to shape treatment to each person. She uses client-centered work to follow a person’s priorities, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, and DBT skills for emotion regulation and stress management. She may also include EMDR for trauma processing when appropriate and agreed on together.

Clients can expect step-by-step plans for improving sleep, mood, and daily routines. Alice pays attention to practical barriers like caregiver demands, work schedules, and medical issues when suggesting strategies. She aims to help people regain energy and better rest while rebuilding self-esteem and healthier relationships.

Her practice is intended for adults seeking individual support. People who want to begin can expect a straightforward intake, goal setting, and regular check-ins to measure progress and adjust care as needed.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Alice uses client-centered work to follow each person’s priorities and build a trusting working relationship. In practice this means listening first, then shaping sessions around the issues that matter most to the client and checking in about progress.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. Online sessions can include guided exercises, homework assignments, and step-by-step plans for improving sleep, mood, or daily routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication; these skills are often taught in short, practical segments that fit well into virtual sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and life circumstances and together decide which methods to try first. That plan is reviewed regularly and adjusted based on what helps most.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter focused check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use virtual sessions to assign practice tasks between appointments and to help clients apply new sleep and coping strategies in everyday life.
