About Alice
Alice Thompson is a licensed social worker with 25 years of professional experience in Michigan. She focuses on helping people who are facing grief, depression, anxiety, and major life changes. She builds a straightforward space where feelings can be named and looked at without judgment.
She aims to make the work practical. Sessions often involve talking through what’s happening now, learning simple coping skills, and planning small steps forward. She helps people manage stress, anger, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns with clear, everyday talk.
Background and approach
Ms. Thompson also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, postpartum depression, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. She pays attention to how life transitions - aging, caregiving, job shifts, or loss - affect daily routines and emotional energy.
Her practice includes attention to less common but important areas such as hoarding, traumatic brain injury, visual impairment, and multicultural issues. She can also help when people face betrayal, jealousy, or challenges in non-monogamous relationships. Sessions are offered in English and she works with people from diverse backgrounds, including international clients.
Her style is supportive and practical - she helps people name their concerns, try manageable tools, and take next steps toward feeling more able to cope.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Evidence-based techniques are used to address clear symptoms and daily problems. One approach focuses on teaching practical coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as paced breathing, grounding exercises, and breaking big problems into smaller steps. These tools are easy to try between sessions and help reduce overwhelm.Another approach centers on grief and loss work, which involves creating space to tell your story, finding ways to remember and adjust routines, and planning small actions that honor what was lost. This work helps with processing strong feelings and rebuilding day-to-day life.
Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. The therapist will discuss options with each person and choose approaches that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. The plan can change over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people talk face to face when a longer session is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick support between visits, or when typing helps someone organize their thoughts. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into real life.
