Alyce Fortnoff

Alyce Fortnoff is an Ohio-licensed therapist (LPCC) with 24 years of experience. She centers her work on trauma-focused therapy alongside practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. Her style is calm and straightforward, aimed at helping someone feel steadier and more able to cope day to day.

She focuses on the emotions that follow painful events, including guilt, shame, and isolation. Alyce helps people sort through traumatic memories and the ways those memories affect current relationships and choices. She also supports those dealing with addictions, chronic health challenges, mood shifts, and questions about life purpose.

Her approach blends Trauma-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered techniques. That mix is used to build coping skills, notice unhelpful patterns, and create clearer choices in everyday life. Sessions tend to be collaborative, with practical steps to try between meetings.

Alyce has worked with a wide range of adults including caregivers and people navigating multicultural concerns. She aims to offer a respectful, non-judgmental space where people can name their struggles and test new ways of responding. Her background includes long-term clinical practice in Ohio.

To begin, she asks people to describe what feels most urgent and what they hope to change. From there Alyce and the individual set simple, realistic goals and track progress over time.

How Alyce’s approaches fit with online therapy

Alyce uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process distressing or painful memories and to reduce how much those memories interfere with daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to notice inner experiences, clarify values, and take small committed steps toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with practical strategies to change mood and behavior.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Alyce will work together with the person to figure out which methods match their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision can shift over time as new challenges or gains appear.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also can make it simpler to keep therapy consistent during illness, caregiving demands, or work changes. Licensed professionals adapt the chosen techniques so exercises and tools can be practiced between sessions and applied in everyday routines.
