About Alyce

Alyce Bitticks is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with over 43 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, stress, and related concerns. She also has experience with issues connected to adoption and foster care and with clients from multicultural backgrounds.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. She aims to build a space where people can say what they need to say without judgment. She emphasizes listening first and tailoring conversations to each person's situation and goals.

Alyce has extensive experience helping people who survived intrusive or violent crimes, including child abuse, sexual assault, and domestic violence. She also supports those dealing with chronic illness, caregiving strains, body image, addiction, sleep problems, and adjustment after separation or divorce.

Therapy often draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools, psychodynamic thinking, and trauma-focused methods. Sessions typically combine active problem-solving with time to reflect on past patterns and relationships. The aim is practical relief alongside longer-term change.

She recognizes parenting challenges and the strains that come from trauma or loss. If you choose to begin, the process starts with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step. Alyce encourages people to take the first step and will work together with them to set clear, manageable goals.

How these approaches guide online work

Alyce commonly integrates attachment-based ideas and trauma-focused methods into therapy. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current trust and closeness, and it helps people who struggle with abandonment or relationship patterns. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on coping after intrusive or violent events and aims to reduce distressing reactions while building safety and stability.

She also draws on client-centered listening and cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered work means the therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and reflection. Cognitive behavioral tools help identify thought patterns that feed anxiety or depression and introduce small behavior changes to improve daily life. Choosing the right approach is collaborative; Alyce will discuss options and tailor methods to a person's goals, needs, and preferences as therapy unfolds.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or audio to match what feels most comfortable. The therapist will help match session style and pace to practical needs and treatment goals.
