About Alicyn

Dr. Alicyn Hennis greets readers with a simple message: taking the first step matters. She is an LPC with over 24 years of counseling experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting strain, grief, mood concerns, ADHD, and related life changes. Her plainspoken approach focuses on everyday thoughts and habits that shape how people feel and act.

Dr. Hennis aims to build an authentic, supportive relationship where people can speak honestly and find practical options. She listens for strengths and patterns, then helps people try small changes that fit their life. Sessions emphasize clear, usable strategies rather than long lectures or jargon.

Her work draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. Mindfulness practices are used to increase awareness and calm in daily life. Attachment-based and client-centered approaches shape how she builds trust and tailors the work to each person.

Dr. Hennis has spent years helping people recover from trauma and supporting caregivers through stressful stretches. She also addresses eating concerns, anger, intimacy-related worries, and career strain. She frames progress as a series of manageable steps rather than overnight fixes.

People who choose her often want direct, compassionate guidance and tools they can use between sessions. Her Texas-based practice centers on practical habit changes and thought work that aim to make everyday life more livable.

How her approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based work focuses on the way relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions let people reflect on patterns in relationships and practice new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience and choices, so the therapist follows the client's lead and helps name strengths and options. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and everyday habits, teaching practical exercises to test beliefs and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist partners with each person to figure out which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking whether they help, and adjusting the plan together as progress unfolds.

The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and easier access from different locations. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm available options before booking. Online work can reduce travel time, make short or focused check-ins easier, and help people practice skills in the settings where they live their lives.
