About Alexander

Alexander Haney is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Specialist (LPC, LPC-MHSP) based in Tennessee. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, OCD and relationship or intimacy concerns. He also supports those dealing with grief, addiction, anger, and career or life-purpose questions. Alexander writes plainly and invites people who are ready to commit to change to begin a therapy journey with him.

Alexander uses practical, goal-focused methods in sessions. He leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. He uses Motivational Interviewing to clarify what matters most and build motivation for change. He also works with approaches aimed at relationship skills, and applies strategies for obsessive-compulsive concerns and panic when needed.

Sessions are offered with a focus on steady progress rather than single, one-off meetings. He offers both shorter-term plans and longer-term work depending on each person’s needs and preferences. Alexander encourages active participation - therapy is something people do, not something that happens to them.

Over six years in practice, he has worked with adults across a range of mood, anxiety, and relationship issues. He aims to help people gain clearer self-understanding, reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life, and build routines and habits that support a more grounded future. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling when they start the intake process.

How these approaches fit into online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps that match their values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and finding a clearer life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive-compulsive concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their goals and daily life. That may mean combining elements of ACT, CBT, motivational interviewing, or relationship-focused skills as the plan unfolds.

Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to practice new coping skills in real-life settings between appointments. A therapist will discuss what will work best for scheduling, session length, and homework so therapy fits into everyday life.
