About Alice

Alice Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, relationship strain, grief, trauma and a wide range of life changes. Many clients contact her about codependency, low self-esteem, trouble with intimacy, or difficulty setting boundaries.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions focus on understanding what keeps old patterns in place and trying small, practical changes. She uses clear tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and skills training from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to build coping strategies and reduce overwhelm.

Alice also integrates Client-Centered and Existential approaches. That means she pays attention to personal values, life questions, and what matters most to each person. For trauma-related memories she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to reduce distress from past events.

She works with concerns that range from parenting stress, career pressure, and caregiving strain to eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD-related challenges, and complicated grief. She is familiar with issues linked to adoption, attachment, aging, and identity-related topics such as LGBT concerns.

Practical steps in her work include learning emotion regulation skills, practicing boundary-setting, and planning behavior changes that fit real life. People can expect clear explanations, brief skill practice, and follow-up ideas between sessions.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches used in remote sessions

Alice commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to change how they feel. DBT provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, tolerating distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on each person's values and priorities. That approach means conversations pay attention to what matters to the client and to practical steps that fit their life. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which approaches make the most sense based on needs and goals, and may combine methods over time.

Session formats were not detailed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into work or caregiving schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can make it simpler to practice skills between meetings and to bring real-life situations into conversation for problem-solving.
