About Alexander

Alexander Haney is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Specialist (LPC-MHSP) based in Tennessee who helps people manage anxiety, panic, stress, and mood concerns. He also supports people working through relationship strain, grief, addiction, and life transitions. Alexander writes plainly about therapy as a committed process that asks for active participation and steady effort.

He draws on practical, problem-focused methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Sessions often look at thoughts, behaviors, and small changes that build new patterns. He also uses approaches that address relationship dynamics and intimacy when those come up as part of a client's goals.

Alexander describes therapy as a course of treatment rather than a single visit. He offers both shorter-term work aimed at specific goals and longer-term sessions for ongoing personal development. That gives room for focused symptom reduction or deeper, paced growth depending on what a person wants.

He has six years of clinical experience supporting people with depression, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, panic attacks, and general anxiety. He often works with people who are newer to therapy and who are ready to try active steps toward change. His style is collaborative and goal-oriented.

His aim is for clients to finish therapy with clearer self-understanding, stronger coping skills, and practical steps they can use every day. Alexander frames progress as a mix of steady effort, reflection, and real-world practice.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then commit to actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, panic, and finding direction after big life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and teaches concrete skills to reduce symptoms like panic and compulsive thinking. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to build readiness for change by exploring a person's own reasons and strengths.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with a client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person's needs and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, avoid travel time, and maintain continuity during life transitions. Some formats are better for brief check-ins or when video bandwidth is limited, while others support longer skill-building work. The focus remains on finding practical steps and exercises that can be practiced between meetings to reduce panic and improve daily functioning.
