Alyce Fortnoff

Alyce Fortnoff is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 24 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, grief, anger, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through overwhelming feelings and practical problems.

Alyce uses evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thinking and change everyday patterns. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and motivate steady change. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a fixed recipe.

Her work pays attention to the whole context of a person’s life. That includes career pressures, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction and recovery issues, and challenges around identity such as LGBT and multicultural stressors. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, aging concerns, and family of origin wounds.

Alyce spends time helping clients build coping skills that fit daily life. That can mean learning practical tools for emotion regulation, strategies for managing cravings or mood swings, and ways to repair or set boundaries in relationships. The focus is on what someone can do between sessions.

Her style is client-centered and collaborative. She listens for what matters to each person and partners with them to set goals and test new behaviors.

How Alyce’s approaches translate to online care

Alyce commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on small, practical changes that can reduce anxiety, improve mood, and change patterns that feed anger or depression.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values even when strong emotions arise. ACT can be useful for coping with grief, trauma responses, and chronic mood issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alyce collaborates with each person to decide which methods match their goals and daily life. Together they review what feels useful, adjust techniques, and track small wins over time.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow smoother check-ins on days when a shorter session helps. Talk with the therapist about scheduling, session length, and any practical needs so sessions fit into everyday routines.
