About Alice
Alice Thompson is a licensed social worker in Michigan with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and difficult life events. She aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where worries can be named and understood.
Her work often centers on grief, depression, anxiety, and stress. She also supports people facing relationship concerns, parenting strain, and anger-related difficulties. People bring a range of issues such as coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and challenges with intimacy or self-esteem.
Background and approach
Alice draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide practical, step-by-step progress. Sessions tend to emphasize clear goals, manageable coping tools, and repeated practice between meetings. The approach is collaborative - she helps people try out new ways of responding to emotions and stressful situations.
She also has experience with longer-term or complex concerns, including bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, and obsessive or compulsive behavior. Additional focus areas include aging and geriatric issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and support for people living with HIV / AIDS.
Alice offers help for less common or specialized concerns too, such as hoarding, issues around non-monogamous relationships, postpartum depression, traumatic brain injury, and challenges related to visual impairment. Sessions are conducted in English and can be scheduled to fit different needs.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Alice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skill-building and emotional understanding. One common approach she uses teaches people specific coping skills for managing intense emotions and stress, such as breathing strategies, grounding, and stepwise behavior changes. These skills are useful for anxiety, anger, and daily stress.She also works with problem-focused strategies that help people set clear goals and test new behaviors. That approach breaks big issues into small, doable steps and helps people measure progress. It is often helpful for depression, motivation struggles, and overcoming avoidance.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alice will talk through options, try techniques, and adjust based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. The process is collaborative and paced to what the person can manage.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick check-ins, short coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options add scheduling flexibility and let people fit therapy into busy days.
