Alexander Haney

Alexander Haney is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Specialist (LPC, LPC-MHSP) based in Tennessee. He focuses on concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, trauma, grief, and isolation and loneliness. He works with people who are new to therapy and with those ready to commit to change and progress toward clearer goals.

Alexander uses practical, goal-focused techniques in sessions. He leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine thoughts and actions, Motivational Interviewing to boost commitment to change, and elements of the Gottman Method for relationship work. He aims to make therapy readable and actionable rather than abstract.

Sessions emphasize small, achievable steps and regular practice between meetings. Alexander frames therapy as an active process - people do the work and the therapist guides and coaches. He offers both shorter-term, problem-focused work and longer-term support depending on each person’s needs.

With six years of counseling experience, he has worked with depression, OCD and anxiety, stress, and relationship concerns. He helps people identify what matters to them, build skills for coping, and make changes that fit their daily life. His approach is straightforward and collaborative, focusing on real-world progress.

Alexander aims to help clients reach clearer self-understanding and practical change. He encourages commitment to the process and supports people as they build a more grounded, meaningful life.

How these approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking actions that match those values. It can help when a person feels stuck, disconnected, or unsure about life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers straightforward exercises to reduce anxiety and depression. Motivational Interviewing helps people strengthen their reasons for change and build momentum toward goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to pick methods that match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Confirm the current session formats before booking to know what is offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time, and keep momentum between appointments. It can also allow brief check-ins or focused skill practice when a shorter meeting is helpful. Talk with the therapist during the matching and scheduling steps to learn which formats he currently provides and how they can fit into everyday life.
