About Alyce
Alyce Fortnoff is an Ohio LPCC - Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with 24 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and questions about life purpose. She also works with people facing addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem concerns, bipolar disorder, and ADHD.
She draws on several practical approaches to help people make sense of change. Sessions are conversational and action-oriented. Clients often work on recognizing unhelpful patterns, learning skills for emotional regulation, and finding small steps that fit into daily life.
Her work includes attention to family of origin issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and multicultural concerns. She also addresses abandonment issues, isolation and loneliness, and process addictions such as gambling or compulsive exercise.
Alyce uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to clarify values and change behaviors. She incorporates Client-Centered Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when the focus is on relationships and emotional expression. Mindfulness practices are used to help with stress and mood regulation.
People come to her when they feel stuck after a life change, when grief or trauma resurfaces, or when addictive patterns feel out of control. The first sessions typically look at immediate coping needs and practical next steps. Over time the work can shift toward clearer priorities and steadier daily routines.
Approaches used in online sessions and how they fit
Alyce commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and learning ways to act in line with those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. CBT works on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.She also uses Client-Centered techniques when the work needs more open listening and emotional reflection. That approach emphasizes the person's own perspective and supports expression of feelings related to grief, trauma, or relationship strain. Taken together, these methods give practical skills and space to process difficult emotions in a collaborative way.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help determine which methods best match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. Decisions about pacing and focus are made together so sessions fit with current life demands.
The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or reduce travel time. Alyce aims to adapt session length and focus so therapy can fit into everyday responsibilities rather than add more strain.
