About Alice
Alice Congdon is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, practicing in Minnesota with 13 years of experience. She focuses on depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. Alice also lists work with ADHD, bipolar concerns, grief, trauma and several other challenges that can affect everyday life.
She began working in helping roles in 2008 and has carried out work in many settings. That background includes in-home visits, schools, job coaching, in-patient care, and outpatient therapy. Those varied roles inform the way she approaches sessions now.
Alice tends to use cognitive behavioral approaches and solution-focused brief work as core methods. She also draws on existential ideas, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and multicultural perspectives when those fit a person’s needs. In practical terms that means talking through how thoughts and behaviors connect, then choosing small steps to try between sessions.
Sessions aim to build clarity about current patterns and set concrete goals for daily and weekly practice. She frames clients as the expert on their own lives and works collaboratively to choose what to practice. The focus is on noticing what’s working, changing what isn’t, and keeping goals realistic and manageable.
Her profile notes experience with adoption and foster care, attachment and caregiver concerns, body image, chronic illness, codependency, communication and control issues, domestic violence, substance use, eating difficulties, and more. That range reflects long experience across community and clinical settings.
How her approaches translate to online work
Alice commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. DBT offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when relationships feel intense or unstable.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. She will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust those choices as therapy progresses. The client’s goals guide whether sessions emphasize skills practice, short-term problem solving, or deeper reflective work.
Her profile notes she offers video and phone sessions during evening hours, and messaging and live chat during morning and afternoon times. If you need a different arrangement, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around classes, work shifts, or caregiving by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, and offering flexible ways to communicate between appointments.
