Alice Congdon

Alice Congdon is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota. She brings 13 years of experience in helping roles and has worked in many settings including homes, schools, workplaces, and clinics. Alice focuses on building practical plans so people can manage daily stress and reach clearer goals.

Alice often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns of thought and change unhelpful behaviors. She also draws on dialectical behavior ideas and mindfulness to teach coping skills for intense emotions. Sessions focus on small steps that fit into everyday life and lead toward longer term aims.

Her background includes work as a personal care assistant, job coach, direct service professional, mental health practitioner, and both inpatient and outpatient therapist. Those roles shaped how she notices practical barriers and supports clients in daily routines. She has experience with depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship conflict, and transitions in life.

Alice also brings experience with bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, hoarding, grief and spiritual concerns. Additional interests listed include adoption and foster care, attachment and caregiver stress, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness or disability, eating and food-related issues, and communication problems.

In sessions she asks clients to identify goals and then practices concrete skills to meet them. She describes therapy as a forward-moving process that uses insight and action together. The role she offers is steady listening, practical suggestions, and a nonjudgmental space to try new ways of coping.

Approaches and how they work online

Alice commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) ideas in her work. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to change how they feel. DBT offers clear skills for handling strong emotions and improving how someone copes in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can change over time as progress and challenges become clearer.

Session formats should be confirmed before booking since the biography notes limits on when certain formats are offered. The profile indicates video and phone sessions are available during evening hours, and messaging and live chat are offered during morning and afternoon times and possibly other slots. Ask about which formats fit your routine so sessions can be scheduled around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to practice skills between meetings.
