About Alice

Alice Congdon brings a practical, skills-based approach grounded in cognitive behavioral principles to help clients navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship challenges, depression, and life transitions.

Background and approach

As a Minnesota Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 13 years of experience in helping roles and clinical settings, she draws on work across homes, schools, employment sites, inpatient and outpatient programs to shape interventions that connect insight to daily habits and goals.

Her practice emphasizes collaborative planning and measurable steps, using techniques from CBT, DBT, existential and mindfulness therapies, and motivational interviewing to build coping skills, emotional regulation, and clearer decision making.

Alice has particular experience supporting people facing trauma, grief, intimacy issues, parenting concerns, bipolar disorder, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and substance-related problems, and she tailors strategies to each person’s life circumstances. Sessions focus on practical problem solving paired with reflective exploration, helping clients set short- and long-term goals while fostering hope and self-direction.

She invites clients to take an active role in shaping treatment plans, offering empathy, respect, and a nonjudgmental stance as they work toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Many of Alice's sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills to change behaviors and mood. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that interfere with daily functioning.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy elements to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that can reduce reactivity and improve relationships. DBT-informed skills are useful for managing intense emotions, coping with trauma responses, and addressing addictive patterns.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process; Alice works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration includes reviewing which strategies are most likely to help and adjusting the plan over time based on progress and feedback.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for this work. Video calls and phone sessions allow real-time conversation and skills coaching, while live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, and continuity between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to apply techniques in real-world moments while still working with a licensed professional.
