About Alyce

Alyce Bitticks is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 43 years of experience. She works with people coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, sleep problems, and parenting concerns. She also addresses abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and related struggles.

Over four decades Alyce has supported people affected by violent or intrusive crimes, including child abuse, sexual assault, and domestic violence. She has experience with adoption and foster care histories and with clients from multicultural backgrounds. She uses several therapeutic approaches to match what each person needs.

Her practice emphasizes a client-centered way of working. That means she listens for what matters to the person in front of her and shapes sessions around those priorities. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

People often come to her after major losses, trauma, or long-standing anxiety and depression. She talks through coping strategies, practical steps for sleep and addiction concerns, and ways to handle parenting stress. Her experience includes supporting people who face chronic illness, body image issues, and family of origin problems.

Alyce accepts clients who live outside the United States. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled through the platform.

How her approaches shape online sessions

Alyce uses attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people spot recurring relationship behaviors and learn different ways of connecting. She also draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and shaping work around each person’s priorities. That helps people set their own goals and move at a pace they can handle.

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT-style work is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, low mood, and addictive patterns because it breaks issues into manageable steps and practical actions. Together these approaches give a mix of understanding past patterns and building present skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Alyce will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.

The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work or study schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people appreciate being able to schedule sessions around classes or shifts and to keep continuity of care when they move or travel.
