About Alice
Alice Congdon is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota. She brings 13 years of experience in the helping professions and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and life transitions. She aims to build practical plans that fit each person's day-to-day life and goals.
Alice has worked in many settings including clients' homes, schools, workplaces, and clinics. Those roles included personal care assistant, job coach, direct service professional, mental health practitioner, inpatient therapist, and outpatient therapist.
Background and approach
These varied experiences shape how she notices patterns and matches strategies to real situations. In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Existential Therapy, and mindfulness-based ideas. She helps people link insight to small, doable steps they can practice between meetings.
The focus is on short-term habits and longer-term goals rather than vague promises. Alice centers a client's own knowledge about their life. She helps set goals the client chooses and then practices skills that support those goals.
Her style is empathetic and nonjudgmental, aiming to restore hope and forward momentum. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Evening video and phone appointments are available, and messaging or live chat is offered in morning and afternoon times when possible.
To begin, clients follow a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Alice commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside mindfulness practices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy emphasizes emotion regulation and practical skills for managing intense feelings and improving relationships. Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, try different strategies, and adjust plans based on what works. The focus is on building skills you can use between sessions and finding an approach that fits your day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging works well for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities and to practice skills in real time.
