About Alice
Alice Griffin is a licensed professional counselor with 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and life changes. She works with adults on concerns such as relationship struggles, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. Alice aims to make the therapy process clear and practical for clients who feel overwhelmed or unsure where to start.
Her style is warm and collaborative. Sessions focus on listening first, then building simple strategies that fit daily life. Alice combines talk-based work with concrete tools to help people notice patterns, reduce distress, and try new behaviors between sessions.
Alice draws from approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, existential therapy, and EMDR. She adapts these methods to each person’s goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. This lets her shift emphasis as problems change over time.
People come to Alice for help with practical problems like communication breakdowns, parenting strain, career stress, or lingering effects of trauma and abuse. She also supports those exploring identity and intimacy issues, including LGBT-related concerns and kink-aware matters.
Her work is grounded in straightforward goals: clarify what matters to the client, teach skills that work at home, and review progress together. Alice is based in Pennsylvania and offers sessions in English, including to international clients. To begin, clients follow a brief matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability.

Step 3
How Alice’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Alice often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, validation, and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. This approach helps clients feel heard and choose goals that matter to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. Dialectical behavior therapy, DBT, offers concrete techniques for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress when life feels chaotic.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Alice will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That can mean starting with problem-solving skills, then adding work on emotion regulation or trauma processing if it becomes useful. The plan is adjusted as progress and challenges appear.
Confirm current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to work with a licensed professional in Pennsylvania even if someone lives elsewhere or is traveling. Discuss scheduling and format choices during the intake so sessions match daily routines and practical constraints.
