Dr. Alicyn Hennis

Dr. Alicyn Hennis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 24 years of experience. She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and challenges tied to parenting and family life. She also supports those facing trauma, ADHD, eating and substance-related issues, and work-related compassion fatigue.

Her approach centers on building a genuine, supportive relationship. She aims to find strengths people already have and use them to meet real goals. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps rather than jargon-heavy talk. Dr. Hennis uses everyday language so people can take what they learn into their lives.

In session she draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She integrates Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. Mindfulness practices help people notice feelings without getting swept away by them.

She values collaboration and keeps the client in the lead. Together they set goals, try small experiments between sessions, and adjust what isn’t working. Progress is measured in changes that feel useful in daily life, like calmer reactions, clearer boundaries, or better sleep.

Dr. Hennis has worked with children and adults and has notable experience supporting caregivers of children who have experienced trauma. She invites prospective clients to start with a simple conversation to see if her style fits their needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online care

Dr. Hennis commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy, and incorporates Mindfulness practices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships influence current reactions and helps people build more secure ways of relating. Mindfulness teaches simple awareness skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that make sense for those goals, and adjust the plan together over time. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay focused on what matters to them.

Confirm the current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing check-ins during a workday break. It can also let people use shorter phone or video check-ins when that works better, or spend a full hour on deeper work when they can allow the time. Talk with the therapist during the initial matching step to find the session style that fits best for scheduling and comfort.
