About Alexander

Alexander Haney is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Specialist (LPC, LPC-MHSP) who helps people manage stress and anxiety and related concerns. He uses clear, goal-focused work to help clients make practical changes. He welcomes people who are new to therapy and who want a plan and direction rather than a single session fix.

Haney draws on several evidence-informed methods to suit each person's needs. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns that keep problems going. Motivational Interviewing is part of his approach when people feel stuck or unsure about change. He also practices elements of the Gottman Method for relationship concerns and works with mood disorders, trauma, addiction, grief, and intimacy issues.

With six years of experience in clinical work in Tennessee, he helps people build skills for coping with life transitions, panic or social anxiety, obsessions and compulsions, and codependency. He supports clients addressing career stress, anger, and low self-esteem. He outlines therapy as an active process that asks clients to try things between sessions and reflect on results.

He offers flexible options for shorter or longer courses of work depending on goals. Some people move to less frequent check-ins after an initial phase, while others continue longer for personal growth. Weekly practical exercises and steady tracking of progress are typical parts of his approach.

Alexander aims to help clients leave therapy with a clearer sense of who they are, what they need, and how to build a life they value. He frames change as effortful but deeply rewarding, and he invites commitment to the work for meaningful results.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Alexander uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot and change thought and behavior patterns that keep stress and anxiety active. CBT focuses on practical skills, short experiments, and homework to test new ways of responding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult feelings while focusing on values-driven action; it is useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel unsure about change by exploring ambivalence and building motivation for steps forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change, so plans are reviewed and adjusted together.

Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it possible to practice skills in real-world settings and bring those experiences back into sessions for review and refinement.
