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. Alyce also notes experience with abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, and other related issues.
She has worked with survivors of violent and intrusive crimes, including child abuse, sexual assault, and domestic violence. That background informs how she talks about safety, boundaries, and rebuilding trust after trauma. Alyce has also supported people whose histories include adoption or foster care and those facing chronic illness, cancer, or aging concerns.
Her style draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered therapy. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused techniques when they fit a person's needs. Psychodynamic perspectives shape how she helps people understand repeated patterns from their past.
Sessions focus on straightforward conversation about current struggles and patterns that keep problems repeating. Alyce listens for what matters most to each person and works with them to test practical ways to manage symptoms such as sleep trouble, anxiety, or depressive moods.
She notes experience with multicultural clients and with first responder issues. The tone in her practice is direct and respectful, concentrating on what can be changed now and what may need longer attention. If someone is unsure where to start, she encourages a first session to identify priorities and next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Alyce uses attachment-based therapy to look at how early relationships shape current trust and closeness. That approach helps when shame or guilt comes from family dynamics or long-standing patterns in relationships.She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes in behavior and routines, for example around sleep or anxiety symptoms.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which approaches best match a person's goals, current struggles, and preferences. That choice can be revisited as work continues.
The biography does not specify which session formats she offers. Confirm the available formats before booking so you know whether sessions are by video, phone, or another option. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, allow brief check-ins during a lunch break, or avoid needing to be on camera when that feels like too much.
