Dr. Alicyn HennisLPC

Dr. Alicyn Hennis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 24 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. She also sees people facing grief, identity questions, eating issues, ADHD, and career or life transitions. Her approach is warm and practical, aimed at helping people notice their strengths and move forward.

In sessions she emphasizes an honest, supportive relationship. She listens without judgment and helps clients name the problems that feel most pressing. Dr. Hennis draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices to offer tools that can be tried between meetings. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect present patterns.

Her background includes extensive work with children and their caregivers, especially when trauma is involved. That history informs how she supports parents and adults navigating family-of-origin struggles and caregiving stress. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where goals are set together.

Sessions are conversational and focused on practical changes. Clients can expect to learn skills for managing emotions, improving communication, and coping with life changes. Dr. Hennis encourages paced progress so people can use new tools in daily life.

She works in English and practices in Texas. To begin, she asks people to reflect on current concerns and what they hope to change, then she helps shape a plan that fits each person’s circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Hennis commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns, which can help with intimacy issues, parenting stress, and family-of-origin concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, and then tailor the methods to fit each person's needs. Over time the plan can be adjusted based on what works in practice.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling around childcare or work breaks. Therapists can use practical exercises, mindfulness practices, and homework assignments that transfer directly into everyday routines, so therapy can be effective even when meetings happen remotely.
