About Alicyn
Dr. Alicyn Hennis is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 24 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, parenting concerns, and identity questions including LGBT matters. She also supports people facing trauma, eating concerns, anger, ADHD, bipolar challenges, and coping with life changes.
Her approach is down-to-earth and practical. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She uses Mindfulness techniques to help people notice strong emotions without being overwhelmed. Attachment-Based ideas inform how she thinks about close relationships and patterns that repeat across time.
Sessions focus on clear conversation, skills practice, and setting small, doable goals. She aims to help people spot patterns, try different coping strategies, and track what changes over time. She also brings in existential questions about meaning and values when those topics matter to the client.
Her background includes many years working with trauma and with caregivers, and she has experience across a wide range of concerns from family of origin issues to addiction and dissociation. The work often mixes practical tools with deeper reflection on relationships and identity.

How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current reactions; it helps when trust or connection feels difficult. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and focuses on listening and reflection to help clarify values and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings and actions into manageable pieces and offers concrete techniques for anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful behavior patterns.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest which approaches to try first. That plan can change as work progresses, and decisions are made together rather than imposed.
Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. Some approaches, like CBT skills practice or mindfulness exercises, adapt well to remote conversation and guided practice. Ask about the session length and cadence when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can match therapy to your day-to-day life.
