About Alice

Alice Congdon is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota. She brings 13 years of experience working in mental health roles and as a therapist. Alice focuses on practical, goal-oriented work to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, and life transitions.

Her background includes roles in clients' homes, schools, workplaces, inpatient and outpatient settings, and specialized internships in chemical dependency and K-12 schools. This variety informs how she shapes sessions to fit a person's life and needs.

Alice draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot unhelpful thinking and change behavior. She also uses dialectical behavior skills, existential questions, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing tools when they fit the goals. Sessions move from understanding patterns to practicing concrete strategies between appointments.

In conversations she helps people set short- and long-term goals, then breaks steps into manageable actions. She emphasizes the client as the expert on their life and supports choice and gradual progress. Her style aims to create hope and motivate steady effort toward those goals.

Practical details matter to her practice. Video and phone sessions are offered in evening hours. Messaging and live chat options are available during morning and afternoon hours and at other times when listed. Prospective clients should confirm current session options when booking.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Alice uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; this approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy ideas to teach skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when feelings run high.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Conversations early on focus on what the client wants to achieve and which tools feel most useful, and plans are adjusted as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments into a busy day and options that match different rhythms of life. Video and phone sessions are available in evening hours, while messaging and live chat are offered during morning and afternoon times and at other listed sessions. Confirm current session options when booking so arrangements match scheduling needs.
