About Alice

Alice Griffin is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, and life transitions. She works with people experiencing depression, trauma, grief, codependency, and struggles with intimacy or self-esteem. Her tone is steady and practical, aimed at people who need clear steps forward.

Griffin uses a collaborative style that centers the person's goals. Sessions focus on developing practical coping tools and clearer communication habits. She draws on conversation, skill practice, and reflective work to help people make changes that matter day to day.

Her ways of working include client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, existential reflection, and EMDR for trauma-related material. These approaches are mixed to match what each person needs rather than following a single method.

With 14 years of experience and a Pennsylvania LPC, she brings steady clinical judgment without jargon. People describe practical takeaways from sessions, such as better sleep routines, calmer responses to stress, or clearer boundaries in relationships.

She is open to working with people from diverse backgrounds, including LGBT clients and those facing caregiving stress, chronic illness, ADHD, or identity questions. For people unsure where to begin, she encourages a short conversation to clarify goals and next steps before committing to a schedule.

How these approaches translate to online care

Alice draws from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR in her practice. Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person, helping them set goals and feel understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, is a method used to reduce the impact of traumatic memories through structured processing and bilateral stimulation when appropriate.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then recommend methods to try. That plan can change as sessions reveal what works best for the individual.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove commute time. They can also let people connect from different locations when schedules or life circumstances make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals will work with clients to set a schedule and format that matches their needs and daily routine.
