Dr. Alicyn Hennis , LPC

Dr. Alicyn Hennis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has provided counseling since 2002. She approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, believing that people already possess many of the skills they need and that a counselor's role is to help uncover and build on those strengths. She has worked with clients across the lifespan, from children as young as three years old to adults, and much of her experience centers on supporting children who have experienced trauma and the caregivers who support them.

Her work emphasizes building an authentic, supportive therapeutic relationship and using practical techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused methods, alongside other modalities. By combining relational support with skills-based interventions, she helps families and individuals explore patterns, develop coping strategies, and move toward meaningful change.

As an LPC, Dr. Hennis brings years of clinical experience to her practice and focuses on creating a collaborative environment where clients can identify goals and strengthen the resources they already have.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Dr. Alicyn Hennis draws on evidence-informed approaches that translate well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more effective strategies - it is commonly used for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress management and often includes practical exercises and skill-building. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thoughts and emotions, which can help reduce reactivity and improve coping with intense feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns formed in early caregiving relationships and helps clients understand how those patterns influence current relationships and emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Dr. Hennis works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they tailor interventions and adjust strategies as therapy progresses to support meaningful change.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. Sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it possible to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and engage in therapy from a location that works for the client while still working with licensed professionals and trained therapists.
