About Alice
Alice Griffin is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship concerns. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and changes such as career shifts or parenting challenges. Her work is practical and straightforward, aimed at helping people get through the hard days and build steady coping skills.
With 14 years of experience she brings calm and steady guidance to sessions. She listens without judgment and focuses on what matters most to each person. Conversations often include short-term tools for mood and sleep, and longer-term work on boundaries, communication, and self-esteem.
Alice blends approaches to meet people where they are. She uses client-centered methods to follow a person’s priorities, cognitive behavioral ideas to change patterns of thinking and behavior, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy for emotion regulation. She also incorporates existential perspectives and EMDR where appropriate.
Her style is collaborative and goal oriented. People leave sessions with simple exercises and clear steps to try between meetings. She frames therapy as problem solving with space for emotion and meaning.
Alice accepts people from outside the U.S. and conducts work in English. Before beginning she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online work
Alice commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on understanding each person's priorities and following their lead in sessions. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals that matter to them.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and stress management.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are used for building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. These skills can help when intense emotions, relationship friction, or impulsive behaviors make daily life harder.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose methods that fit the person's situation and adjust them over time.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions that focus on practicing skills between meetings. Confirm the specific session formats available before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged.
