About Alice
Alice Congdon is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota. She brings 13 years of experience in helping roles and focuses on practical work that clients can use day to day. She speaks plainly and aims to build hope while people set and reach goals.
She has worked in many settings including clients' homes, schools, workplaces, and offices. Earlier roles included personal care assistant, job coach, direct service professional, mental health practitioner, and both inpatient and outpatient therapist.
Background and approach
Those experiences shaped how she supports people now. Alice often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy, existential ideas, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing depending on what a person needs.
Sessions focus on insight tied to weekly and longer-term goals. Her common focuses include depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship conflict, life transitions, and ADHD. Additional areas she addresses include grief, intimacy issues, parenting strain, bipolar concerns, compassion fatigue, and many other day-to-day struggles.
The work is practical and goal-oriented. In sessions she collaborates with people to decide goals and interventions. She aims to create a nonjudgmental space and to encourage clients to use their own knowledge about their lives.
Messaging and live chat are available during morning and afternoon hours, and video or phone sessions are offered in the evenings.
Using CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness Online
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into smaller, actionable steps.Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. Mindfulness therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and can reduce rumination and increase calm in daily life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals, try different methods, and adjust plans based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process where the client and therapist pick tools that fit the situation.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone works when bandwidth is limited or hands-free check-ins are preferred, and messaging or live chat can suit short check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work from different locations.
