Alyce Bitticks , LCMHC

Alyce Bitticks is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, who brings more than four decades of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, sleep problems, self-esteem struggles, and the pressures of parenting. She welcomes people dealing with women's issues and aims to make the first step into therapy as manageable as possible.

Her approach keeps the person at the center of the session. Alyce uses client-centered methods to listen and respond without judgment. She draws on trauma-focused tools when someone has a history of abuse or intrusive crime, and she uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to help people change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Over a long career she has worked with people affected by child abuse, sexual assault, domestic violence, and those with adoption or foster care backgrounds. She has also supported people facing chronic illness, cancer, or grief and loss. Her experience includes helping people cope with attachment and family of origin issues and with the stresses that come from first responder roles.

Sessions are straightforward and practical. Alyce aims to create a calm space where clients can say what they think and feel, figure out manageable steps, and try out new ways of coping. She explains concepts plainly and helps people apply them to real life.

People who prefer a collaborative, steady style will find her approach consistent and experience-based. Her long practice in North Carolina informs how she tailors care to each person’s needs and background.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Alyce uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person's concerns and goals. That approach means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people decide the direction of sessions. It suits those who need a calm, accepting space to talk and make choices about change.

She also draws on trauma-focused therapy to address the effects of abuse, assault, or other intrusive events. Trauma-focused work looks at how past events affect current feelings and behaviors and uses structured methods to reduce distress and build coping skills.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Alyce will discuss options with each person and adjust methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning helps clients try techniques and see what fits best for them.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different lifestyles. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper exchanges. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier when you don’t want to be on camera. Live chat and text sessions are useful for shorter check-ins, quick strategy work, or times when writing feels more natural.

These formats make scheduling more flexible and can help maintain continuity of care when life is busy or travel is necessary.
