About Alice
Alice Congdon is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota. She has worked in helping roles since 2008 and brings 13 years of experience to her counseling. She focuses on practical steps people can take to manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and relationship strain.
Her background includes roles as a personal care assistant, job coach, direct service professional, mental health practitioner, and both inpatient and outpatient therapist. She has also interned in chemical dependency rehabilitation and in K-12 schools. Those settings shaped how she approaches care and the kinds of supports she offers.
Alice favors Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Existential Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing when they fit a person's goals. In sessions she looks at daily habits, thought patterns, and choices, then connects insight to concrete weekly and long-term goals.
She emphasizes collaboration: people set their goals and choose what feels useful. The therapist’s role is to offer empathy, a non-judgmental space, and practical tools to move forward. Her work also includes additional focus areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and eating and substance-related concerns.
Alice commonly supports people dealing with grief, trauma, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and career or identity questions. She aims to build hope and momentum, helping people take steps toward healthier routines and clearer decisions.
Approaches that guide online counseling
People often notice change when they practice new ways of thinking and acting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress with clear, step-by-step techniques. Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices to help ground someone when worries feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to goals, try methods that fit, and adjust plans together. Clients help set priorities and decide which tools to keep using between sessions.
Session options should be confirmed before booking, since formats are not fully specified here. When online sessions are offered they can make therapy easier to fit into busy days - for example, they reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or let someone meet without needing to arrange childcare. Messaging and live chat can support quick check-ins, while phone or video can allow longer conversation and skill practice. Confirm current session options when you schedule so they match your needs and daily life.
