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 steps people can take to feel less stuck. Her style is direct and hopeful, aimed at moving forward while acknowledging where someone has been.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside Existential and Mindfulness approaches. Sessions emphasize making small, doable changes that link to daily life. Goals are set together so people leave with clear steps to try between meetings.

Alice's background includes work in homes, schools, employment settings, inpatient and outpatient care, and chemical dependency services. That range informs how she helps with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, depression, and life transitions. She also supports people coping with ADHD, bipolar concerns, trauma, grief, and parenting strains.

In sessions she draws on Motivational Interviewing and narrative ideas to help people clarify what matters to them. The work blends skill practice, values-focused conversation, and problem-solving for real situations. Clients can expect empathy, steady feedback, and an emphasis on the client's own wisdom.

Alice offers evening video and phone sessions, and morning/afternoon messaging and live chat options. If someone prefers a different arrangement, they should confirm current session options before booking.

How these approaches shape online therapy

Alice commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to structure online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships, useful for anger, emotional overwhelm, and interpersonal conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest ways of working that fit. That collaborative process can include trying a technique for a few sessions and adjusting if it doesn't feel helpful.

She offers evening video and phone sessions and messaging and live chat in morning and afternoon slots; confirm current session options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Many people find that practicing CBT and DBT skills between sessions fits well with digital messaging and scheduled calls, making progress more likely to carry into everyday life.
