Dr. Alicyn Hennis , LPC

Dr. Alicyn Hennis is a licensed professional counselor with 24 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles. She offers practical support for parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, LGBT issues, grief, eating and intimacy-related challenges, and career or life transitions. Her approach is straightforward and goal-focused so people can see change in daily life.

She emphasizes a warm, authentic relationship in sessions. That means listening closely, asking clear questions, and helping people notice what already works for them. Sessions focus on skills that can be used between meetings, such as coping strategies, mindfulness, and changes to unhelpful thinking.

Dr. Hennis draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. Mindfulness practices are introduced to build calm and attention in stressful moments.

Her background includes work with trauma and with caregivers, and she brings that perspective to complex situations like family problems, adoption and foster care issues, and separation or divorce. She also addresses concerns like ADHD, substance-related issues, and compassion fatigue for people in helping roles.

Dr. Hennis counsels in English and practices in Texas as an LPC licensed in Texas and New Jersey. She offers several online session formats so people can pick what fits their schedule and communication style.

How therapeutic approaches meet you online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape how people relate now. It helps when patterns of trust, closeness, or abandonment affect intimacy and family interactions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to shift them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That collaborative process means approaches can be adjusted over time based on what is helpful.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make participation more flexible. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text are useful for quick check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity during changes in schedule or location.
