About Alice

Alice Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and the lingering effects of family dynamics. Alice also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, intimacy-related difficulties, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

Alice uses clear, practical methods in sessions. She listens to how family roles and childhood patterns show up now. Then she helps people notice those patterns and try different ways of responding. Conversations focus on skills people can use between sessions.

Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thoughts that fuel worry or low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are taught for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Alice includes EMDR when memories or past painful events continue to cause distress, and she brings existential questions into sessions when people are rethinking meaning, values, or life direction. She explains each approach in simple terms and checks what fits the person in front of her.

Many clients find it helpful that sessions mix short-term skill building with deeper reflection on patterns from childhood and family of origin issues. Alice encourages practical steps that can be practiced between appointments. She invites a steady, focused process rather than quick fixes.

Approaches used in online sessions

Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person's perspective and preferences, helping people speak openly about how family roles and early relationships still influence daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety or low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for regulating intense emotions and improving communication in strained relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust techniques as needs change.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time from a workday. Online meetings can make scheduling easier while keeping the focus on practicing skills and addressing family of origin patterns in day-to-day life.
