About Alice
Alice Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor working in Pennsylvania who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, parenting strain, intimacy issues, eating or sleeping problems, and career or self-esteem challenges. Her style is direct and compassionate, focused on practical steps that make daily life easier.
In sessions she listens first and then works with each person to set clear goals.
Background and approach
She uses tools that teach skills for coping, handling strong emotions, and improving communication. Sessions often include moment-to-moment coaching, homework between meetings, and concrete strategies to try out in real life. Her practice draws on approaches like client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior therapy, existential ideas, and EMDR for trauma-related issues.
That mix lets her match methods to a person’s needs rather than following one single model. She keeps explanations simple and shows how techniques apply to everyday problems. Alice has 14 years of clinical experience in varied settings.
She has worked with people dealing with ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, compassion fatigue, chronic illness, adoption and foster care issues, attachment and personality differences, and body image or intimacy concerns. She emphasizes pacing therapy to what feels manageable. People who choose her find a collaborator who prioritizes practical change and steady progress.
She helps people notice patterns, try new behaviors, and build routines that reduce overwhelm. Her goal is to leave clients with tools they can use long after sessions end.
Approaches and online therapy that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities, offering a supportive space where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps clarify goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, combines emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness skills to help people manage intense feelings and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean using CBT tools for thought patterns, DBT skills for emotional control, or client-centered talks to explore meaning and values.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and screen sharing for worksheets, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when a quieter moment is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between meetings.
