Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Alicyn Hennis integrates practical, evidence-informed methods into online sessions to help clients address emotional and relational concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and replacing them with more adaptive strategies - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance skills that can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which is helpful for trauma responses, mood challenges, and daily stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and supports healing around connection, caregiving, and intimacy difficulties.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative part of care. Dr. Hennis works with each person to understand needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailors techniques and pacing so the work feels useful and achievable. She views therapy as a partnership in which options are tried, evaluated, and adjusted together.

Online therapy with Dr. Hennis offers flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access licensed professionals from locations that suit clients' daily lives.
