About Alicyn
Dr. Alicyn Hennis is a licensed professional counselor in Texas with 24 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family challenges, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and other life changes.
Background and approach
She also attends to issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, substance-related problems, domestic violence, and family of origin difficulties.
Drawing on a long history working with both children and adults, much of her early work focused on traumatized children and their caregivers, which informs her sensitive approach to complex family and attachment issues. Her style centers on building an authentic, supportive therapeutic relationship while helping clients identify strengths and practical skills to reach their goals.
Dr. Hennis integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with attachment-based ideas, mindfulness, client-centered techniques, existential reflection, and motivational strategies to tailor care to each person's needs.
She offers sessions in English and practices in Texas, holding LPC credentials that reflect her clinical training and licensure. Prospective clients are invited to begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.
Approaches that guide online care and how they help
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and replace them with more adaptive patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relational patterns formed early in life and explores how those patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses, which can be useful for intimacy issues, family dynamics, and caregiver-related stress.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each client to understand goals, preferences, and life context and then tailor a mix of techniques that match those needs. Clients and therapist evaluate progress together and adjust methods when necessary to ensure the work remains relevant and practical.
Online therapy with this practice is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from Texas-based licensed professionals while accommodating work, family, or geographic constraints. The variety of session types also allows skill practice between live conversations and ongoing check-ins that fit into daily life.
