Alyce Bitticks, LCMHC

Alyce Bitticks is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, based in North Carolina with more than four decades of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people sort through stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and addictions by listening carefully and responding to what each person brings. Alyce aims to make the first steps into counseling feel manageable and respectful of where someone is starting from.

She has long experience supporting people who survived violent or intrusive crimes, including child abuse, sexual assault, and domestic violence. Alyce also supports people affected by adoption and foster care and has worked with clients from multicultural backgrounds. Her practice includes attention to sleep difficulties, self-esteem, parenting concerns, and a range of trauma-related issues.

Alyce uses several therapeutic approaches to match the needs she sees. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings, and she applies cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and daily habits. Trauma-focused and psychodynamic approaches inform her work when deeper patterns and past events need attention.

Sessions are built around respectful listening and practical steps people can take between meetings. Alyce focuses on everyday thoughts and habits as a way to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. Her goal is to help people find small changes that add up to better coping.

With 43 years of practice, Alyce blends long-term perspective with simple tools. She encourages people to take the first step and offers a steady presence while they work toward clearer goals and healthier routines.

How attachment, CBT, and trauma work online

Alyce uses attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior; this helps when worries stem from relationship patterns or loss. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on everyday thoughts and habits and gives clear steps people can try between sessions to change unhelpful routines. Trauma-focused therapy addresses the impact of past painful events and supports people in processing those experiences at a pace that feels manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alyce will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She adapts methods collaboratively so the plan matches what the person wants to change or understand.

The therapist biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy days. It can also allow shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and let people use methods that focus on thoughts and daily habits from wherever they are. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly use these benefits to support consistent progress without promising a particular session type.
