About Alice
Alice Congdon is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Minnesota who uses a systemic lens to look at relationships and patterns. She combines practical strategies with a focus on how a person fits into the people and systems around them. Sessions aim to set clear, manageable goals and build small, steady changes.
She has 13 years in the helping professions and has worked in many settings, including homes, schools, workplaces, inpatient, and outpatient care.
Background and approach
Those roles have included personal care assistant, job coach, direct service professional, and mental health practitioner. That background shaped a flexible way of working that adapts to each person’s life circumstances. In session she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, existential ideas, and mindfulness practices as tools.
These approaches are used to identify unhelpful thoughts, manage strong emotions, and bring attention to values and meaning. She also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative techniques when useful. Alice focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, depression, life changes, grief, and trauma among other concerns.
She also supports people with ADHD, bipolar disorder, parenting stress, caregiver strain, and complex situations such as adoption, blended family issues, and chronic illness. The work often connects daily habits to longer term goals. Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented.
Clients are treated as the expert on their lives while she offers guidance, empathy, and practical exercises. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

How system-minded and skills-based therapy works online
Systemic work looks at how relationships, routines, and roles shape problems. In short sessions the focus is on patterns between people and daily life so changes can fit a client’s real world. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and tries small behavior experiments to test new ways of acting. DBT offers clear skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication in stressful moments.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That can mean trying CBT techniques for a few weeks, adding DBT skills when emotion regulation is needed, or using systemic framing to shift family or workplace patterns.
Online formats make this work more flexible. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues and share worksheets. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break from work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, skill practice, and when someone prefers typed communication. These options help therapy fit into real life and make it easier to keep momentum between sessions.
