About Alyce

Alyce Bitticks is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She brings more than 43 years of experience to sessions and works with people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and stress. Alyce also helps those managing addictions, sleep problems, self-esteem struggles, and parenting challenges.

She has long experience supporting people affected by violent or intrusive crimes, including child abuse, sexual assault, and domestic violence. She has also worked with people touched by adoption and foster care and with clients from multicultural backgrounds. Aging and geriatric issues are listed among her additional focus areas.

Alyce aims to build a nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly about difficult events and feelings. She uses approaches that focus on relationships, personal meaning, and practical thinking. Sessions are intended to help callers name patterns, try different responses, and calm difficult thoughts.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape behavior. She also uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps with changing unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Starting therapy is framed as a step-by-step process. Alyce emphasizes collaboration, steady progress, and practical tools that people can use between sessions. The tone is direct and supportive for those who feel overwhelmed or unsure about where to begin.

How her approach transfers to online therapy

Alyce uses attachment-based ideas to explore how relationships shape feelings and behavior. This approach looks at past and present connections to help explain current reactions and to build more helpful ways of relating.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions follow the person's pace and priorities. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people set goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and to practice concrete strategies for mood, anxiety, sleep, and behavior changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alyce will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and choose or blend methods accordingly. The decision is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm available formats before booking because the biography does not specify them. Online work can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins during a busy day. It can also be useful when a session without video is preferred, or when fitting therapy around caregiving or work demands.
