Alyce Bitticks, LCMHC

Alyce Bitticks is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, with 43 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction concerns, sleep problems, parenting strain, and reactions to trauma. She also supports those coping with chronic illness, cancer, attachment and family of origin issues, and challenges tied to adoption and foster care.

She draws on client-centered listening to make space for whatever someone brings into the room. That means she pays attention to each person's story and priorities before suggesting ways forward. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to address unhelpful thinking and from trauma-focused and psychodynamic work to understand how past events affect current feelings.

Alyce has long experience with people who survived violent or intrusive crimes, including child abuse, sexual assault, and domestic violence. She also has practice supporting those who face abandonment, codependency, dissociation, and disruptive mood dysregulation concerns. Her background includes work with first responders and with people from multicultural backgrounds.

Her sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. She helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and build coping steps that fit daily life. For parents, she offers focused help with stresses of caregiving and related emotional strain.

She invites people to take the first step and complete a short matching questionnaire to begin. After that, scheduling is arranged based on therapist availability and the platform's process.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Alyce uses attachment-based work to help people understand close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions. This approach looks at patterns in relationships and helps people develop different ways of connecting when old patterns feel painful.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to change mood and stress. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and day-to-day stressors. Trauma-focused methods are also part of her work when past events continue to affect feelings and functioning.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a person's concerns, goals, and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try. Together they check what helps and adjust the plan as needed.

Confirm the current online session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue regular therapy when life or health issues make in-person meetings harder.
