Alice Bigelow, LCPC

Alice Bigelow is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Illinois with five years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and LGBTQ+ related concerns. She also supports people working through obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. Alice believes starting therapy is a brave step and aims to make the first visit easier to take.

Her approach centers on treating each person as the expert on their own life. She focuses on thoughts and everyday habits to help people notice patterns that keep problems going. Sessions aim to break things down into small, manageable steps so progress feels doable.

Alice draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, mood concerns, and the effects of shame and guilt. She helps people develop skills to manage anxiety, reduce compulsive behaviors, and build self-compassion. Work is practical and focused on changes that can be practiced between sessions.

She pays attention to how gender and sexuality affect wellbeing and supports questions around gender dysphoria and sexual identity without judgment. The goal is clearer thinking, steadier mood, and improved everyday routines that support wellbeing.

People who choose Alice can expect straightforward guidance and steady support. She encourages collaboration on goals and regular review of what is helping. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule work based on therapist availability.

Approaches that address thoughts and everyday habits

Alice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts and daily routines. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and practice new ways of thinking that reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach targets repetitive behaviors and rituals linked to obsessive thoughts, teaching step-by-step strategies to interrupt those cycles and regain control.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist works with each person to learn what feels workable, then adjusts methods based on goals and what helps in real life. Goals and strategies are reviewed regularly so the plan stays useful and relevant.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so people can meet during a break or between commitments. Licensed professionals can tailor session pacing and homework to fit everyday schedules, helping skills move from the therapy hour into daily habits.
