About Alicyn
Dr. Alicyn Hennis is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with 24 years of experience based in Texas. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, relationship and family issues, grief, LGBT concerns, and a range of other challenges. Her work also covers eating and intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
She uses practical, goal-oriented methods in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques are part of her approach, alongside attachment-based and client-centered ideas. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and trying different ways of responding.
Her background includes long experience with children who have experienced trauma and with caregivers. She has worked across a wide set of concerns connected to family of origin issues, adoption and foster care, abandonment, caregiver stress, and domestic violence. This experience informs how she frames questions and plans interventions.
In practice she helps people notice patterns, set small goals, and test new behaviors between sessions. She pays attention to relationships and attachment issues when they shape current problems. Work often blends direct strategies with reflective conversation and mindfulness skills.
To begin a process with her, people use the site workflow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Hennis uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and test practical behavior changes. CBT sessions often focus on small experiments and homework to try between meetings, which can fit well with remote sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early bonds affect current reactions; online conversations can be used to map those patterns and practice different ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy foregrounds the person's experience and choices, with the therapist listening and reflecting so the client can decide next steps.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to select approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences rather than using one fixed model. Decisions about methods are revisited as progress is made.
The site biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins that match work or family schedules. They also support using worksheets, screen sharing, and real-time practice of skills without requiring an in-person visit.
