About Alicyn

Dr. Alicyn Hennis brings 24 years of counseling experience to clients in Texas, focusing on concerns such as ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family difficulties, grief, and stress-related struggles.

Background and approach

She also addresses issues around parenting, intimacy, eating and substance concerns, bipolar conditions, compassion fatigue, and career or life-change challenges. Her practice includes work related to attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, dissociation, domestic violence, and a range of mood and personality issues.

Dr. Hennis practices from a human-centered stance, emphasizing an authentic therapeutic relationship as the foundation for change.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and uses mindfulness techniques to build present-moment awareness and emotional regulation. Her background also includes attachment-based perspectives and existential ideas that explore meaning, values, and identity as part of recovery and growth.

Dr. Hennis holds an LPC credential and aims to collaborate with clients to find practical, individualized strategies that fit their goals and life circumstances.

Approaches for Online Growth and Regulation

Dr. Hennis often blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in online work. CBT helps clients identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaches practical skills to test and change those patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, mood concerns, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and feelings, helping with emotional regulation, stress reduction, and cultivating steadiness amid life changes.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adjusts methods accordingly so work feels relevant and manageable rather than one-size-fits-all.

Online sessions are available via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, caregiving, or geographic constraints, and allow the therapist to provide consistent, ongoing support through multiple communication formats.
