About Alyce
Alyce Fortnoff is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 24 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on practical steps that can be used between appointments. Alyce aims to help people feel more steady and connected to what matters to them.
She draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and client-centered listening.
Background and approach
Those tools help clients notice difficult thoughts, try small behavior changes, and clarify personal values. Mindfulness and emotionally-focused strategies are also woven into sessions when they fit a person’s needs. Alyce has worked across many concerns that often overlap with anxiety, such as trauma and abuse, addictions, mood disorders, and relationship or intimacy-related issues.
She also supports people facing chronic health challenges, caregiver stress, and career or life-purpose questions. Treatment focuses on clear goals and practical coping skills tailored to each person. Sessions are offered in English and provided through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
She understands that some problems feel urgent and helps people build immediate coping plans as well as longer-term strategies. Her style is direct and compassionate. Clients can expect a collaborative process that balances listening with action steps.
To begin, interested people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on the listed process.
Evidence-Informed Approaches Available Online
Alyce uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and decisions about life direction. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try concrete behavior experiments that reduce distress or improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alyce treats therapy as a collaboration and will help clients test methods that match their needs and goals. Together they decide whether to emphasize values work, thought restructuring, mindfulness practice, or emotion-focused techniques based on what fits and what helps.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical change and steady progress.
