About Alice

Alice Griffin is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania who brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and a broad range of life transitions.

Background and approach

Her caseload also includes issues related to parenting, sleep and eating difficulties, career concerns, and compassion fatigue, as well as specialized areas like adoption and foster care, attachment issues, and body image. Her style blends empathy with practical skills building, helping clients develop strategies that fit their daily lives while also exploring underlying patterns.

Alice uses evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Existential Therapy, and EMDR as appropriate, tailoring methods to each person’s needs. She emphasizes collaboration and supports clients in discovering actionable steps and new perspectives.

Alice welcomes clients in English and accepts international clients. Her practice offers multiple session formats to increase access, and she frames therapy as a process of shared discovery aimed at improved coping, clearer communication, and sustained personal growth.

Integrating proven approaches into online care

Alice commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where the client’s goals and experiences guide the pace and focus of treatment. When appropriate, she incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness for those facing intense emotions or chronic dysregulation.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to evaluate their needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors interventions so treatment feels relevant and manageable. This collaborative stance helps clients try techniques and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy gives access to these methods through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Those options make scheduling more flexible and allow work to continue between sessions, making it easier to practice skills in daily life and maintain continuity when circumstances change.
