About Alicyn
Dr. Alicyn Hennis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 24 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship and intimacy issues, and grief. Sessions also address LGBT concerns, parenting strains, career stress, and coping with life changes. Dr. Hennis uses practical methods to help people manage reactions and improve day-to-day functioning.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that feed anger and worry. Mindfulness techniques are used to increase awareness of bodily and emotional cues. Attachment-based ideas help when past relationships shape current trust and closeness issues.
In session, the approach is straightforward and conversational. The therapist helps clients notice what triggers their anger, practice different responses, and try small behavior changes between meetings. Conversations may include skills practice, short experiments, and reviewing what worked or didn’t work during the week.
Dr. Hennis has long experience working with children who experienced trauma and their caregivers, and she brings that background into work with adults when trauma or family of origin issues come up. She also addresses complex concerns such as bipolar disorder, substance problems, dissociation, and attachment wounds within the therapy process.
People meet with her to reduce reactive anger, repair relationships, or find clearer ways to set boundaries. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking and follow the listed steps to schedule a first appointment.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work looks at how past connections affect present responses. Online sessions can explore relationship patterns, safety with closeness, and ways to build different habits in relationships through conversation and small tasks.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In online sessions clients identify automatic thoughts that fuel anger, try alternative reactions, and track results between meetings for discussion next time.
Mindfulness practice teaches noticing bodily and emotional cues before reacting. Simple grounding exercises and brief mindful pauses can be practiced during sessions and applied in daily life to reduce reactivity.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, and then select and adjust methods together in a collaborative way.
Session formats are not listed here, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people practice skills in the settings where problems arise, then bring observations back to the next session.
