Alyce Fortnoff, LPCC

Alyce Fortnoff is an Ohio-licensed therapist (LPCC) who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and life changes. She writes and speaks plainly in sessions. She listens first, then helps people find steps they can try between meetings. Her work is grounded in compassion and steady support.

With 24 years of experience, Alyce focuses on everyday problems that can feel overwhelming. She helps people manage mood disorders, bipolar and ADHD symptoms, and issues tied to addiction and recovery. She also supports those coping with chronic pain, illness, caregiving burdens, and aging-related concerns. She pays attention to cultural background and how it shapes experience.

Alyce draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to tailor sessions to each person. That can mean clarifying values, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing emotional awareness, or building new relationship skills. She lays out practical tools and teaches ways to use them in daily life.

Sessions include talking through painful memories, addressing shame or guilt, and making plans to reduce isolation. She works with people on relationship and intimacy-related concerns, career questions, and life purpose. For those dealing with process addictions or substance issues, Alyce integrates motivational techniques and relapse prevention ideas.

People meet with her in English and she practices in Ohio. She emphasizes collaboration and concrete steps, helping clients leave sessions with a clear next action. To begin, readers should use the site’s Start Therapy flow to match and schedule based on availability.

Approaches that inform online sessions

Alyce uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when strong emotions are present. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical coping skills that reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alyce treats the choice as a collaboration, reviewing what has or hasn’t helped before and adjusting methods to match goals and daily life demands. Together the client and therapist pick tools and try them in real situations, then tweak the plan as needed.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so readers should confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins if that suits someone’s schedule. Licensed professionals can guide clients in applying ACT or CBT techniques between sessions so progress continues outside the appointment time.
