About Alice
Alice Congdon is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) practicing in Minnesota with 13 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship conflict, and life transitions, among other concerns. Alice also lists family-of-origin and attachment-related topics among her focus areas.
She has worked in many settings including clients' homes, schools, workplaces, and clinics. Early roles included personal care assistant, job coach, and direct service professional. Those roles and internships in chemical dependency treatment and K–12 schools helped shape how she approaches therapy today.
Alice uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy approaches along with existential and mindfulness perspectives. Sessions often include setting clear daily and weekly goals and practicing specific skills between meetings. Motivational interviewing influences how she supports changes related to substance use and other behaviors.
In sessions she and the client look at the different parts of life that affect functioning. They review patterns from the past while focusing on present steps forward. Work tends to be practical: identifying patterns, setting measurable goals, and trying out small changes.
She invites clients to take the lead on goals while offering guidance, strategies, and feedback. Her background with diverse populations and in multiple service roles informs a straightforward, skills-focused approach. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Alice commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and holding steady in relationships.She also uses aspects of mindfulness and motivational interviewing. Mindfulness teaches attention to the present moment and can reduce reactivity. Motivational interviewing helps clarify personal reasons for change and supports steps toward goals like reducing substance use.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what works.
Session formats should be confirmed before booking, because current offerings can change. Ask about evening phone or video options and daytime messaging or live chat options when arranging sessions. Online sessions can make it easier to fit care into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time, and the therapist will help plan a schedule that fits everyday life.
