Dr. Alicyn Hennis

Dr. Alicyn Hennis helps people manage anger alongside stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and relationship concerns. She supports those facing parenting strain, grief, eating issues, ADHD, and career or life transitions. Dr. Hennis focuses on practical steps people can use day to day to feel steadier and more in control.

She has worked in counseling since 2002 and brings 24 years of experience to her practice. Her background includes work with young children and their caregivers, and substantial experience supporting people affected by trauma and abuse. She uses short, clear interventions people can put into practice between sessions.

Her approach centers on building a trusting, real connection. She draws on client-centered work to prioritize what matters to each person. Cognitive behavioral tools are used to identify unhelpful patterns and try different responses in everyday situations.

Mindfulness practices are used to notice reactions in the moment and reduce impulsive responding. Attachment-based ideas help make sense of how early relationships shape current feelings and behavior. Existential themes come into play when people need space to examine values, purpose, and choices.

Dr. Hennis describes counseling as a collaborative process. She helps people find strengths, experiment with new habits, and track small changes over time. To start, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online work

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current reactions and helps people understand patterns that fuel anger and disconnection. It helps with intimacy-related struggles and family of origin issues by naming relational habits and trying new ways of relating.

Client-centered therapy centers the person's experience, listening without judgment and following the client's priorities. This approach supports people who want a space to be heard and to clarify what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviors that escalate anger or anxiety and testing more effective responses. It offers concrete exercises to practice between sessions and can help with mood, impulsive reactions, and everyday coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and real-life constraints. That choice can shift as clients try tools and see what helps.

Confirm the available online session formats before booking, since specific options are not stated in the original profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time so people can meet during a lunch break or between errands. These practical benefits often make consistent work on anger and stress more achievable.
