About Alyce
Alyce Fortnoff is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 24 years of experience. She focuses on depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, life changes, and a wide range of relationship and identity concerns including LGBT and intimacy-related issues. She also pays attention to family of origin issues when they shape how people manage emotions and relationships today.
Alyce keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She helps people name patterns that come from their upbringing and learn new ways to respond. Work often includes sorting through guilt, shame, anger, or isolation and developing coping strategies for stress, addiction, or chronic health challenges.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice with adults across the lifespan, including caregivers and people facing multicultural concerns. She uses several evidence-informed approaches to match the work to the person rather than pushing a single method. This includes therapies that focus on thoughts, feelings, and values alongside mindfulness skills.
In sessions Alyce listens for recurring relationship patterns and how early family roles affect current choices. She uses clear tools from cognitive-behavioral and acceptance-based approaches, and she draws on emotionally-focused work when relationship or intimacy issues are central.
People who come for help with career stress, mood disorders such as bipolar disorder, ADHD-related difficulties, or process and substance addictions find concrete strategies and behavioral steps to try between sessions. The emphasis is on practical change and clearer decision making, not on labels.
To start, she asks clients to identify the main patterns they want to change and the small first steps that would feel doable. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and services are offered in English in Ohio.
How Alyce Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Alyce commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her clinical work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking actions that match those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work grounded in the persons experience. That approach centers on listening, reflecting, and helping people find their own solutions rather than following a fixed script. Together these approaches help with mood problems, anxiety, relationship issues, and coping with family of origin patterns.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the first sessions. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. They then try approaches and adjust them as the work progresses, making changes based on what helps with day-to-day functioning.
