About Alice
Alice Bigelow is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ related concerns, trauma and low self-esteem. Alice also has specific experience with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
She works from the premise that each person knows their story best. Sessions aim to identify strengths the client already has and build on them to address current problems. Conversations are direct and practical, focused on habits, thoughts, and feelings that maintain distress.
Alice helps people who feel stuck by breaking issues into manageable steps. She will talk through symptoms, daily routines, and patterns that keep problems active. The goal is to help clients try strategies between sessions and track what changes.
When trauma or difficult past events are part of the problem, Alice pays attention to how those experiences affect present thinking and behavior. For OCD and related concerns she focuses on the specific thoughts and rituals that sustain anxiety and seeks ways to reduce their hold.
Her approach is collaborative: clients and she decide together what to try and when to change course. She asks practical questions, sets small goals, and reviews progress regularly. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.

How evidence-based approaches are used in remote care
Two evidence-based techniques Alice commonly uses are behavior-focused strategies and cognitive work. Behavior-focused strategies look at routines and actions that maintain stress or compulsions and ask clients to try small, practical changes. Cognitive work examines unhelpful thoughts and tests alternative ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and low mood.For trauma-related concerns Alice will attend to how past events influence current behavior and thinking, helping clients name reactions and try steps to reduce their impact. For OCD she concentrates on the thoughts and rituals that keep anxiety active and works with clients to change those patterns over time.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alice and the client review goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what helps. The therapist frames techniques as experiments you evaluate together rather than fixed rules.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to balance appointments with daily life, fit a check-in during a work break, or limit time spent traveling. If you prefer a particular session rhythm or shorter check-ins, mention that in the matching questionnaire when scheduling.
