Alice Griffin , LPC

Alice Griffin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 14 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, addiction, grief, and challenges related to parenting, work, and identity. Alice also supports people with trauma, eating and sleeping concerns, ADHD, and intimacy-related issues.

Alice uses a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. She listens first, then helps people set clear goals. Sessions focus on skills and small changes that fit real life. The tone is collaborative and respectful.

Her work draws on several approaches to match a person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotional skills for intense feelings. Client-centered methods keep the conversation focused on what matters to the individual.

Alice also uses EMDR for people who are recovering from traumatic events and existential ideas to help people find meaning during major life transitions. She blends methods so therapy stays practical rather than abstract. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier emotions, and better day-to-day functioning.

People can expect straightforward suggestions, coping tools, and space to talk through painful topics. Alice aims to help clients build resilience, improve communication, and make choices that fit their values. She works with English-speaking clients in Pennsylvania and with international clients by online formats.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Alice integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and EMDR into online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy means conversations focus on the person's priorities and pacing, with the therapist listening and reflecting to help people find their own answers. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replaces them with concrete strategies and behavioral experiments that can be practiced between sessions. EMDR is used to address traumatic memories through structured processing techniques when appropriate, helping reduce the emotional intensity linked to past events.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alice will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and then try methods that seem likely to help. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so the plan fits how the person responds and what life demands.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls are useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, live chat supports shorter focused interactions, and text-based messaging helps people stay connected with timely reflections or homework. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or travel while still working with a licensed professional.
