About Alexander

Alexander Haney is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Specialist (LPC, LPC-MHSP) based in Tennessee. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, depression, addictions, trauma, and relationship concerns. He aims to work with people who are ready to commit to change and to build a more grounded life.

Haney uses evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Gottman Method, and Motivational Interviewing. Sessions focus on practical steps, skill-building, and clear goals. He encourages active participation rather than passive listening, so clients leave with tools they can use between meetings.

With six years of professional experience, he has supported people facing mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive concerns, panic, social anxiety, grief, and co-occurring issues like codependency and hoarding. He frames therapy as a process that can be short-term or longer-term depending on individual needs and progress.

His approach mixes structured techniques with collaborative conversation. He works to help people clarify values, practice new coping strategies, and address relationship patterns that cause repeated conflict. Motivation and readiness to change are central to how he plans sessions.

Haney communicates in English and practices in Tennessee. Prospective clients are invited to consider therapy as an active commitment toward clearer goals and a more satisfying life.

How these approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people connect with their values and take small, meaningful steps toward a life they care about. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, and problems where behavior change matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework. It often helps with panic, OCD, social anxiety, and mood problems.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the person and therapist decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, 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 can also let people use video or phone depending on what works best for focus, bandwidth, or comfort. Licensed professionals can tailor session length and frequency to match goals and daily routines.
