Dr. Alicyn Hennis, LPC

Dr. Alicyn Hennis is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 24 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues related to trauma and abuse. She also works with people dealing with parenting strain, LGBT concerns, eating and mood challenges, ADHD, and career or life-change adjustments. Her approach centers on building a real, supportive relationship and finding practical strengths to move forward.

She believes most people already have skills to reach their goals and that counseling helps bring those skills into focus. Sessions focus on identifying what’s getting in the way now and trying small, useful changes. Dr. Hennis uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs rather than a single fixed method.

Her work often includes elements from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice patterns and practice different responses. Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches guide how she builds trust and listens for what matters most to each person. Existential ideas help when people are wrestling with meaning, choices, or life transitions.

Dr. Hennis has considerable experience with children who have experienced trauma and their caregivers, and she has worked with both young children and adults across many settings. She brings a calm, practical style and aims to make therapy straightforward and useful in day-to-day life.

She is based in Texas and offers counseling in English. If you want to explore whether her style fits your needs, use the site tools to begin the matching process and schedule a session.

How these approaches guide online work

Attachment-Based Therapy helps notice how early relationships shape current behavior and emotional reactions. In practice this looks like gentle conversations about relationship patterns and trying new ways of connecting with others. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding your experience without directing you; the therapist offers reflection and support so you can decide what changes feel right. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses simple, practical exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs and recommend steps to try. That collaborative process may blend elements from different approaches so the work fits your situation rather than forcing a single method.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, cutting commute time, fitting a brief check-in during a lunch break, or joining from a location with fewer distractions. It can also allow for flexible pacing of interventions like CBT exercises or mindfulness practices between meetings. If you want to know which formats are available with this therapist, please check the session options when you schedule.
