About Alice
Alice Griffin is a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania with 14 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and addictions. Parents and individuals who are worn out by life changes often look to her for straightforward guidance and steady support.
Alice uses a mix of practical talk and narrative work to help people make sense of their stories. She listens for patterns that keep a problem going and helps clients try different ways of responding.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals, small experiments, and skills that fit daily life. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She asks simple questions, reflects what she hears, and helps people notice choices they may have missed.
That approach is helpful for concerns like grief, trauma, sleep and eating struggles, or challenges with intimacy and self-esteem. Alice also draws on cognitive behavioral and mindfulness ideas when useful. Those methods help with anxiety, mood swings, ADHD symptoms, and coping with stress.
She adapts tools to each person rather than following a fixed recipe. People who reach out can expect respect for their experiences and practical steps between sessions. Alice works with issues across many areas, including career, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and body image.
Her aim is to help people feel clearer and more able to take the next step in daily life.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options
Narrative and skills-based approaches for online care
Alice commonly blends Narrative Therapy with Client-Centered methods and cognitive behavioral ideas. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and looks for alternate plots that reduce suffering. It helps when old patterns or labels feel stuck and you want to rewrite how a problem fits into your life. Client-Centered work centers the person’s experience, using reflective listening and empathy to make space for new understanding. Cognitive Behavioral techniques break problems into thoughts, actions, and feelings and teach concrete skills to shift each piece.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Alice treats that as a collaborative process and will try different ways of working based on your goals and preferences. Together you’ll test what helps, adjust pacing, and pick tools that fit your daily routine.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets you check in on a busy day, and text messaging supports short updates or ongoing coaching-style contact. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping therapy consistent and focused.
