About Alice

Alice Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, addiction concerns, and intimacy-related issues. Her work also includes support for grief, trauma and abuse, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, and identity questions related to LGBT concerns.

She uses a collaborative style that centers the person's goals and priorities. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear steps people can use between meetings. Alice blends listening with tools to manage emotions, reduce distress, and improve communication.

Her background draws on several evidence-informed approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies skills for emotion regulation and handling relationship stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) may be offered for people processing traumatic memories.

Alice also incorporates Client-Centered and Existential ideas to support personal meaning, values, and self-understanding. She adapts her style to each person's needs and preferences rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions emphasize coping strategies you can practice in daily life.

People often come for help with parenting strains, caregiver fatigue, body image, codependency, and communication problems. She also supports those navigating BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture concerns or challenges related to adoption and attachment.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Alice draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-focused, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. DBT is useful for people who need steady coping tools and clear steps to handle relationship strain.

EMDR is another option for processing distressing memories when trauma is a central concern. It is used to reduce the emotional charge of past events and support recovery from traumatic experiences.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose or combine methods that match their goals, comfort level, and life situation. This discussion happens early and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, let people meet from different locations, and reduce travel time. They can also allow shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling that fits work, caregiving, or health needs.
