About Alice
Alice Congdon is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota who focuses on practical, goal-oriented work. She centers on clear steps clients can take to manage stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, and parenting concerns. Sessions aim to create hope and small changes that fit into busy family life.
Alice brings 13 years of experience in the helping professions. She has worked in homes, schools, workplaces, inpatient and outpatient settings, and with community programs.
Background and approach
Those varied roles shaped a down-to-earth approach that values real-world solutions over jargon. In sessions she uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot patterns that keep problems going. She pairs that with dialectical behavior skills and motivational interviewing to build coping strategies and strengthen motivation.
Sessions include short-term action steps and longer-term goals so clients see progress week to week. Alice pays attention to how stress shows up in daily routines and relationships. She helps people sort out parenting strain, grief, identity concerns, and trauma impacts while also addressing substance use and mood challenges.
Her practice attends to adoption and foster care issues, attachment questions, autism, caregiver stress, and body-image struggles when these affect functioning. Expect a collaborative tone in the room. Clients set priorities and Alice offers tools, feedback, and steady support.
She encourages practical homework, small experiments, and regular check-ins to track change. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging, and scheduling reflects evening availability for video and phone and daytime options for messaging and live chat.

How clinical approaches fit into online sessions
Alice commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and on practicing small changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches coping skills for strong emotions and helps people manage stress, improve communication, and reduce impulsive reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alice treats therapy as a collaboration where goals, life demands, and personal preferences guide which methods are used. She checks in regularly and adjusts techniques as needed so the plan fits what a client wants to accomplish.
Online formats are chosen to suit daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill coaching and deeper discussion. Phone sessions offer a simpler option when bandwidth or being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins, skill practice, or quick support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to practice tools in real time.
