About Alexander
Alexander Haney is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Specialist (LPC-MHSP) based in Tennessee with six years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, mood disorders, addictions, trauma, grief, and social anxiety and phobia. He also supports those dealing with issues like codependency, hoarding, infidelity, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms.
Alexander uses practical, evidence-informed methods in sessions. He often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new behaviors. He also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to make changes.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. He helps clients set clear, manageable steps and checks progress each week. For people new to therapy he explains what to expect and what a course of treatment might look like, including options for shorter-term or longer-term work depending on needs.
Alexander emphasizes active participation. He describes therapy as work clients do, not something that is simply done to them. That can include practicing exposure tasks for anxiety, experimenting with new communication habits for relationship strain, or using behavioral strategies for mood and motivation.
He aims to help people leave therapy with a clearer sense of who they are and practical skills to manage daily life. Alexander encourages realistic goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice rigid thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and finding motivation for life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors in everyday situations, which can help with panic, social anxiety, and depressed mood. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational style that helps people resolve mixed feelings about change and build internal motivation.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Alexander will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and suggest methods that match the client's needs. He treats finding the best fit as a collaborative process, adjusting plans as progress is tracked.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them explicitly. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also makes it simpler to practice techniques between sessions and bring real-life examples directly into conversations. If needed, ask about session pacing and length so arrangements fit daily routines.
