About Alicyn
Dr. Alicyn Hennis helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, trauma and grief. She also supports concerns related to adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, LGBT issues, eating and intimacy-related struggles. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at helping parents and caregivers find practical ways to cope and make changes.
She has worked in counseling since 2002 and holds the LPC credential, with practice based in Texas. Much of her experience has involved children who experienced trauma and the adults who care for them. That background informs a calm, steady approach when situations feel overwhelming.
In sessions she focuses on building an authentic working relationship first. She listens for strengths a person already has and then helps them use those strengths to reach realistic goals. Conversations are practical and concrete, with tools to try between sessions.
Her methods draw on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior. She also uses attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and mindfulness to help with emotional regulation. Existential themes may be brought in to address meaning and life direction when those come up.
People who choose her often want direct guidance along with space to make their own decisions. Her approach aims to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. To begin, readers are invited to follow the site process to match and schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how early care relationships shape current patterns. Online conversations can help identify those patterns and try new ways of relating. Client-centered work focuses on listening, validation, and helping clients find their own answers; that approach works well through regular talk-based sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors; it often uses concrete exercises and homework that translate easily to remote work.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will adjust techniques over time based on what is or isn’t helping.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow short check-ins when needed. Some approaches lend themselves to focused, shorter homework-based work while others benefit from regular conversation over weeks or months. Discussing practical needs and schedules during the first appointment helps shape a plan that fits everyday life.
