Background and approach

Clients work on coping strategies for anger, addiction, ADHD, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Her background includes long-term work with people navigating chronic health problems, caregiver stress, and multicultural life transitions. She also helps those facing isolation, guilt, shame, or questions about life purpose and career direction.

That experience informs a patient, steady approach in sessions. Alyce keeps the room focused on what matters now: identifying unhelpful habits, practicing new responses, and tracking progress between meetings. She blends talk with mindful exercises and practical homework that people can use immediately.

People can expect a collaborative tone where goals are set together and adjusted over time. The LPCC credential indicates licensure in Ohio as a professional clinical counselor. Sessions are offered in English and are available by several online formats.

How therapy approaches are used in online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values. It can help people who feel stuck by focusing on small, value-driven steps rather than trying to eliminate every uncomfortable feeling. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down patterns of thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, mood concerns, and managing ADHD-related routines. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect, giving people space to lead the conversation and set the pace of change.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try strategies, check what helps, and adjust the plan based on real progress and feedback.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face when a visual connection is helpful, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging support ongoing contact and short reflections between sessions, which can help maintain momentum. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit work, caregiving, or health schedules.
