About Alicyn
Dr. Alicyn Hennis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 24 years of experience. She works with adults on common and persistent problems like stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and anger. Her background also includes work related to parenting concerns and issues connected to trauma and abuse.
She describes counseling as a practical partnership. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and building skills to manage strong feelings. Dr. Hennis uses clear techniques rather than abstract promises, and she helps people learn ways to respond differently when frustration or resentment builds.
Her approach draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to address thinking patterns and present-moment awareness. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered methods when exploring how relationships shape reactions and trust. These approaches can be used for concerns such as intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Her experience includes work with children who have experienced trauma and their caregivers, but her profile here is written for adults seeking help with anger, emotional regulation, and related concerns. She also lists focus areas such as ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, eating and substance-related issues, and family-of-origin problems.
Practical work in sessions can include spotting unhelpful thinking, practicing mindfulness skills, and talking through relationship patterns. Dr. Hennis aims to help people develop tools for everyday moments when anger and frustration arise.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Hennis draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to guide much of her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behavior patterns, which can help when anger is maintained by automatic reactions. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding skills to notice rising tension and choose a response rather than act on impulse.She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centered ideas to look at how relationship patterns influence anger. These perspectives help when issues involve trust, boundaries, or recurring conflict. Deciding which approaches to use is collaborative; the therapist and client explore goals and try methods that fit the person’s situation.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Different formats can suit different needs - for example, some people prefer a brief phone check-in when they have limited bandwidth or need a quick look at coping skills, while others favor face-to-face video for longer therapeutic work. Discuss formats and scheduling during the initial matching steps to find what fits your routine.
