About Alicyn
Dr. Alicyn Hennis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas with 24 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and identity-related challenges.
She also supports those dealing with trauma, eating and anger issues, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and career or life transitions. Her style centers on listening closely and building a trusting, straightforward relationship. She draws on Narrative ideas to help people reframe stories about themselves.
Background and approach
Sessions also use Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches to focus on connection and the person’s experience. Cognitive Behavioral techniques are used when helpful to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Dr.
Hennis has worked in counseling since 2002 and has extensive experience with children who have experienced trauma and the adults who care for them. That background informs how she notices relationships, patterns, and safety in people’s lives. Her LPC credential is listed for Texas and elsewhere she is qualified as an LPC in New Jersey.
In a typical session she listens, asks practical questions, and helps people notice the stories that shape their feelings and choices. She keeps things concrete - skills to try, small experiments to test, and compassion for hard moments. The goal is clearer thinking and more manageable steps forward.
People meet with her by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session based on availability.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Online session options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Dr. Hennis uses Narrative therapy to help people notice and reframe the stories they tell about themselves. That can shift how a person sees a problem and open new ways to act. Attachment-Based work looks at how relationships shape feelings and coping, and it helps people build steadier connections and understand relational patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Sessions are collaborative - the therapist and client decide together which ideas to use and what to change if something is not helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be quicker check-ins or work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter exchanges, note-taking between sessions, and flexibility for busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
