About Alexander
Alexander Haney is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Specialist (LPC, LPC-MHSP) practicing in Tennessee with six years of experience. He works with adults on anger, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, grief, addictions, OCD and related issues. Sessions focus on concrete goals and steady progress rather than single one-off meetings.
He uses practical, evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing. He also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship work and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for values-based change. Those approaches guide how he helps people notice patterns and try small, manageable changes.
Alexander prefers a straightforward style that emphasizes active participation. Clients can expect clear skill teaching, behavioral experiments, and moment-to-moment coaching in session. He describes therapy as a course of work where commitment and practice matter more than a single conversation.
He is experienced helping people new to therapy and those who want either short-term problem-focused help or longer-term personal development. He will discuss pacing and structure so sessions match goals and life demands.
His background includes work with mood disorders, trauma, obsessive-compulsive issues, and relationship strains. He frames progress in terms of specific skills, improved coping, and better decision-making rather than quick fixes.
How his approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions aligned with those values. It is useful for managing anger, avoidance, and life transitions through values-based steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down thoughts, feelings, and behaviors into manageable pieces and teaches skills to test unhelpful thinking and change reactive patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic, anger, and mood problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He collaborates with each person to decide whether ACT, CBT, Gottman methods, or motivational interviewing fits best for the issue and goals. That decision is revisited as progress is made and needs change, so methods can be combined or adjusted together.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not specify formats. In online work the practical benefits people often notice are easier scheduling around work or caregiving, shorter check-ins when life is busy, and the ability to keep using skills between meetings. If you want a particular session setup, check the current options when you schedule so sessions fit into daily life.
