How Alicyn works
That background informs how she thinks about attachment, family of origin problems, and caregiver stress. In sessions she focuses on building an authentic, supportive relationship. She uses clear, practical techniques to help people notice patterns, make changes, and try new behaviors.
Mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral ideas appear alongside client-centered listening and attention to how relationships shape feeling and behavior. Her approach is direct but compassionate. She helps people name what’s troubling them and tests small, doable steps to feel better.

Online support options
Online approaches that focus on relationship and change
Dr. Hennis uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT is practical and problem-focused, and it can help with anxiety, depression, eating struggles, and mood problems.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships affect feelings and closeness. This approach helps people understand patterns in relationships, grief, abandonment concerns, and family of origin issues.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different techniques. Together they decide whether to focus on skills, relationship patterns, or mindfulness work and adjust the plan over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy days. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief updates, journaling between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking.
