About Alicyn
Dr. Alicyn Hennis is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and trauma. She supports people facing parenting challenges, LGBT concerns, eating and anger issues, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and career stress.
She also addresses family-of-origin problems and caregiving strain. Dr. Hennis takes a straightforward, person-focused approach.
She listens first and helps people identify strengths they already have. Sessions aim to make choices clearer and reduce overwhelm through practical steps.
Background and approach
Conversations are direct but warm, and progress is paced to each person's needs. Her work draws on existential ideas about meaning and choice, attachment-based thinking about relationships, and client-centered listening that centers the person's view. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity.
These methods are used together to fit the problem at hand. Dr. Hennis has 24 years of counseling experience and maintains LPC credentials in Texas and New Jersey.
That background includes substantial work with children who experienced trauma and with their caregivers, as noted in her experience. Her practice focuses on building an authentic therapeutic relationship first, then selecting tools that make daily life more manageable. People who prefer honest, practical sessions often find this style helpful.
She aims to help people make clearer decisions, handle strong emotions, and regain a sense of control when life feels chaotic.

Online support
How these approaches translate to online care
Existential Therapy looks at meaning, choice, and responsibility. It helps people facing big life questions, feelings of emptiness, or confusion after major changes by clarifying values and options.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how close relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment fears, or repeating painful relationship patterns by exploring early bonds and current relationship habits.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with workable alternatives. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing strong emotions through clear, practical exercises.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit your situation. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as the work progresses.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you have fuller conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you need a hands-free option. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, quick coping support, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to schedule care around work, school, or caregiving duties while still using the same therapeutic methods described above.
