About Alicyn
Dr. Alicyn Hennis helps people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD, depression, and relationship and family struggles. She also supports those facing trauma, grief, parenting strain, and career or identity concerns.
Dr. Hennis is an LPC with many years of clinical practice in Texas and uses practical strategies to make daily life more manageable. She aims to build an honest, straightforward connection with each person.
Sessions focus on identifying strengths and small, doable steps people can take between meetings.
Background and approach
She uses clear talk, guided exercises, and problem-solving rather than long theoretical explanations. Her approach draws from cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to help change unhelpful thinking and reduce emotional reactivity. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at patterns in close relationships.
These methods are combined to match what each person needs most in the moment. Dr. Hennis trained and worked with children and adults, and has two decades of experience since beginning counseling in 2002.
That background includes work with caregivers and children who have experienced trauma, and with people facing complex mood and behavior concerns. In sessions she stays focused on concrete goals like improving sleep, reducing overwhelm, managing impulsivity, or repairing communication. She explains tools simply and practices them in session so people feel ready to try them on their own.
People seeking help can expect a calm, direct style that balances listening with practical skill-building. The aim is steady progress toward clearer thinking, better routines, and more reliable emotional balance.
Approaches That Guide Online Sessions
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current trust and communication. In online sessions this helps people who want to change repeating relationship patterns or feel more supported around others.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world behavior. It is useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and for building routines that reduce overwhelm.
Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily stress without getting swept away. These skills can reduce reactivity, improve focus, and help with managing emotions day to day.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to set goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients and the therapist check progress together and shift strategies when needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and fuller conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging provide quick access between sessions or a format for people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to practice skills in the contexts where problems occur.
