About Alyce
Alyce Fortnoff is a licensed therapist in Ohio who combines practical therapies with steady support. She has 24 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, and addiction. Alyce uses clear, goal-focused methods to help clients find manageable next steps.
Her background includes work with people facing life transitions, caregiver strain, chronic health challenges, and multicultural issues. She helps individuals handle feelings of guilt, shame, isolation, and problems rooted in family of origin.
Background and approach
Alyce also addresses relationship and intimacy-related concerns, career pressure, and questions around life purpose. Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness methods. She blends structured techniques with listening that honors each person's story.
Sessions focus on practical tools and on naming emotions so coping becomes clearer. Alyce is familiar with addictions ranging from substance use to process addictions like gambling and pornography. She supports people working through bipolar mood patterns and ADHD-related challenges by creating clearer routines and problem-solving strategies.
Her approach attends to the whole situation rather than only symptoms. People can expect straightforward guidance, real coping skills, and gentle challenge when habits no longer serve them. She aims to help clients move from feeling stuck to having concrete options they can use between sessions.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Alyce often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify core values and take small actions that align with those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and practice concrete behavior changes that reduce anxiety or depression.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan over time. Clients and the therapist decide together which techniques feel most useful and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make regular work on issues easier to fit into life. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a brief check-in, and messaging supports short updates or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people keep consistency, manage therapy around work or caregiving, and choose formats that match comfort and scheduling needs.
