About Alyce
Alyce Fortnoff is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 24 years of experience. She helps people facing anger, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. Her style is warm and straightforward so people can talk through what matters most.
She uses a mix of practical tools and listening to guide each conversation. Alyce draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new strategies.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear steps people can use between meetings. Alyce has worked with people dealing with trauma, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, and mood disorders. She also supports those navigating caregiver stress, chronic illness, and identity or multicultural concerns.
Her background includes long-term practice helping people rebuild routines after big life shifts. In sessions she attends to emotions such as guilt, shame, and isolation while helping clients practice skills for everyday situations. She encourages small experiments that build confidence and reduce emotional reactivity.
Over time clients learn ways to handle anger and strong feelings with less harm. Her approach is collaborative and paced to fit each person. People who want straightforward guidance and a therapist who blends practical techniques with empathic listening often find her style helpful.

How these approaches work online
Alyce often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values. ACT combines noticing thoughts and feelings with practical moves that fit everyday life and can help with anger, depression, and life transitions.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps and teaches concrete skills people can practice between sessions to reduce anxiety and mood problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alyce treats therapy as a collaboration and will help you decide which methods fit your goals and preferences. Together you’ll check what’s working and adjust the plan over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so clients can pick the format that matches their needs. Video calls are close to an in-person meeting, phone sessions use less bandwidth, chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make scheduling easier and let people fit therapy into busy lives.
