About Alyce

Alyce Bitticks is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina who blends Internal Family Systems with client-centered, attachment-informed, and trauma-focused approaches.

Background and approach

With 43 years of professional experience, she brings long-standing clinical perspective to work with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, depression, addictions, sleep problems, and parenting concerns. Her practice also addresses a broad range of related issues including abandonment, adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, chronic illness and pain, body image, and family of origin matters.

She has particular experience supporting survivors of violent or intrusive crimes such as child abuse, sexual assault, and domestic violence, and has worked with people affected by adoption and foster care and from multicultural backgrounds. Alyce emphasizes a nonjudgmental, empathic atmosphere where clients can explore painful memories and current struggles at their own pace.

She notes that starting therapy can require courage and affirms clients for taking that first step toward seeking help. Sessions are available through multiple online formats and Alyce accepts international clients as well as those in North Carolina.

Her long tenure in the field informs a flexible approach that tailors methods to each person’s needs and goals.

Integrating Internal Systems and Attachment Work Online

Internal Family Systems is an approach that helps people explore their inner parts or subpersonalities, learn their roles, and build a compassionate relationship to those parts to reduce internal conflict and heal from trauma. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns, aiming to strengthen relational security and improve connection and trust in relationships when attachment wounds are present. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental stance from the therapist, offering support and validation so clients can lead the pace and direction of their healing.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with each client to determine which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative exploration allows adjustments over time so work stays aligned with what the client finds most helpful.

Online therapy with Alyce is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make ongoing care more accessible for people in various locations and life situations, and they allow sessions to continue consistently while accommodating busy routines and travel.
