About Alice
Alice McCarter is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience and credentials as an LICSW and LCSW. She has worked in Massachusetts and now practices in North Carolina. Her work centers on helping people manage stress, mood concerns, and everyday relationship struggles.
Alice focuses on practical support for common problems like anxiety, depression, anger, and life transitions. She often helps people who are coping with grief, caregiving strain, or chronic health challenges.
Background and approach
She also offers guidance around career concerns, self-esteem, and addiction-related issues. Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions usually aim to identify a few clear goals and steps to reach them.
She uses short-term tools when helpful and pays attention to the emotions behind difficult behaviors. Alice draws on approaches such as mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work to keep conversations concrete. Mindfulness helps people notice patterns, motivational interviewing supports change, and solution-focused techniques keep sessions goal-oriented.
She matches methods to each person's needs and pace. People often come for help with communication problems, intimacy-related concerns, sleep and eating issues, or the fallout from trauma. Alice also supports those navigating blended family issues, caregiving stress, aging-related concerns, and other complex life challenges.
To begin, she asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions. Services are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Alice uses mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work to keep online sessions practical and action oriented. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help people notice stress and manage strong emotions. Motivational Interviewing centers on exploring what matters to a person and building their own motivation for change. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for immediate, small steps that move someone toward their goals and often suits people who want concrete progress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, preferences, and goals, and then suggest approaches to try. Plans are adjusted over time so the work stays relevant to what the person wants to achieve.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a work break or won’t require being on camera. Live chat or text messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework support, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around everyday life.
