About Alice
Alice Bigelow is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois with five years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with trauma, LGBTQ+ related concerns, and obsessive-compulsive patterns.

How Alice works
Her work often focuses on how worry and mood affect daily life. She helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and practices new ways of responding. Sessions can include talking through upsetting memories, managing intrusive thoughts, and building tools to cope with intense feelings.
Alice pays attention to issues around gender and sexuality and supports people navigating gender dysphoria. She also addresses shame, guilt, feelings of emptiness, and struggles with self-harm in a careful, steady way. Social anxiety and phobias are common concerns she helps people approach gradually.
People who choose her often want a practical, respectful therapist who listens and suggests workable skills. She sees therapy as a partnership where the client’s goals guide the work. The therapist asks questions, offers feedback, and helps plan the next steps.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Alice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and clear steps. One common approach helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it teaches concrete strategies for managing anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and mood shifts. Another approach emphasizes gradual exposure and response prevention for obsessive-compulsive patterns and social fears, helping people face feared situations in small, manageable steps.Choosing the right approach is a cooperative process. The therapist and client will talk about symptoms, goals, and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods, check what helps, and adjust the plan based on how the work is going.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet those goals. Video calls let people work in real time and see facial cues during skill practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for focused conversations. Live chat and text messaging are useful for short check-ins, skill reminders, or when someone prefers written reflection. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between sessions.
