About Alice
Alice McCarter is a licensed clinical social worker with an MA, holding LICSW and LCSW credentials and 22 years of clinical experience. She has practiced in Massachusetts and now works in North Carolina. Her work includes helping people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and anger.
She focuses on everyday problems that build up over time. That includes self-esteem struggles, coping with life changes, workplace stress, and caregiver strain. She also addresses issues linked to chronic illness, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, and grief.
Her sessions are practical and goal-oriented. She uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice reactions as they happen. Motivational interviewing supports people who want change but feel stuck, and solution-focused methods aim at small, concrete steps forward.
Alice has long experience supporting people through role changes and difficult transitions. She helps with communication problems, commitment concerns, and intimacy-related issues without labeling a person by their difficulties. Her work also covers ADHD, bipolar concerns, and challenges connected to aging and blended family situations.
She emphasizes collaboration and straightforward tools. People leave with things they can try between sessions, such as short mindfulness practices or a simple plan to handle triggering moments. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
Therapeutic approaches used online and how they help
Alice draws on mindfulness therapy to help people notice their bodily and emotional reactions when anger rises. Mindfulness techniques are brief and practiceable between sessions, and they can reduce reactivity by increasing awareness. She also uses motivational interviewing to clarify what someone wants to change and to resolve mixed feelings about that change. This approach helps people who are ready to cut down on reactive behavior but need a clear plan and motivation to do so. Solution-focused therapy guides the work toward small, achievable steps. Sessions often identify one concrete change to try before the next meeting so progress can be measured and adjusted. Finding the right approach is part of the first conversations. Alice will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as needs evolve. That collaboration steers whether the focus is skills practice, decision-making, or short-term problem solving. Confirm the current online session options before booking, since specific formats were not detailed in the original profile. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel to an office. Licensed professionals commonly use these practical benefits to help people keep momentum between sessions.Areas of expertise
