About Alice
Alice Congdon is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC, practicing in Minnesota with 13 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, depression, coping with life changes, anger, and related concerns. She works with people who are dealing with loss, trauma, parenting strains, ADHD, and career or identity questions.
Her background includes work in homes, schools, workplaces, inpatient and outpatient settings. She has experience as a personal care assistant, job coach, direct service professional, and mental health practitioner. Those roles shaped the practical, problem-focused ways she approaches therapy today.

In sessions she helps people notice patterns, set short-term goals, and practice skills between meetings. The work aims to reduce unhelpful reactions and support clearer choices in daily life.
She emphasizes collaboration. Clients define their goals and decide which strategies feel useful. Alice reviews practical steps and tracks progress week to week, linking insight to action.
Her experience includes working with substance use and addiction, mood disorders, grief, trauma and parenting-related stress. She has also supported people dealing with adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism spectrum concerns, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and eating or body image issues.
Alice offers evening video and phone sessions, with messaging and live chat during morning and afternoon slots. Prospective clients can follow the booking steps to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Alice commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in her work. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anger, anxiety, and depression. DBT focuses on emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills to reduce reactive responses and improve relationships. She also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support moment-to-moment awareness and to help clarify what a person wants to change. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to test techniques, track what helps, and adjust plans based on goals and preferences. Evening video and phone sessions are offered, with messaging and live chat available during morning and afternoon times; confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can be scheduled around work or caregiving. The focus remains on practical skills and clear goals that can be practiced between meetings.Areas of focus
