Alyce Bitticks, LCMHC

Alyce Bitticks is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 43 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, sleep problems, and addictions. Alyce is direct and compassionate, and she aims to make the first steps into therapy easier for people who are worried or unsure.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered approaches to understand relationship patterns and to meet people where they are. Trauma-focused methods and psychodynamic ideas inform how she addresses past hurts and long-standing patterns.

Alyce has worked with people who experienced violent or intrusive crimes, including child abuse, sexual assault, and domestic violence. She also has experience with adoption and foster care concerns, attachment challenges, and issues tied to chronic illness and aging. Her background includes work with people from multicultural backgrounds and first responders.

Sessions are aimed at practical change and clearer coping skills. Alyce helps parents with the strain of raising children and supports people facing family of origin issues, divorce, dissociation, codependency, and body image concerns. She also addresses problems that arise after disasters and with chronic pain or medical diagnoses.

Her North Carolina practice combines steady experience with a straightforward style. She encourages small steps, clear goals, and honest conversation so people can move forward at a pace that feels right.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Alyce commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. With CBT, online sessions often focus on setting small goals, practicing skills between meetings, and reviewing progress together.

Attachment-Based Therapy is another part of her practice and looks at how early relationships shape reactions today. In an online setting this approach explores relationship patterns, communication habits, and ways to build more secure connections with others.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alyce will work with clients to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. She adjusts the plan over time based on what is helping and what feels manageable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when that feels important, phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth or travel is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins or steady contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit care into daily life and to try different formats as needs change.
