About Alexander

Alexander Haney is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Specialist (LPC, LPC-MHSP) based in Tennessee. He helps with stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and addiction concerns.

Background and approach

He also supports people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma, intimacy issues, and difficulties with self-esteem or life direction. Alexander takes a down-to-earth approach.

Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. He encourages active effort from the person in therapy rather than a one-off visit.

He explains that meaningful change usually happens over time and with commitment. He uses methods drawn from evidence-based approaches such as the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Those methods are adapted to each person's needs. Some people work short term to address a current issue and others continue longer for ongoing personal development.

Alexander has six years of professional experience working with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive concerns, depression, and relationship issues. He explains therapy in plain language and helps people clarify values, build coping skills, and set achievable goals.

He frames progress as a series of small, practical changes. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging, depending on what fits the person best.

He works in English and practices in Tennessee. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Alexander blends the Gottman Method with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address relationship and individual concerns. The Gottman Method focuses on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and resolving recurring conflicts through practical exercises and conversation tools. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches values-based action and gentle acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings to help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns, which helps with panic, obsessive thinking, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexander will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan so it fits the person’s life and needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all script.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and texting supports brief updates or reminders. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care when schedules or locations make in-person visits difficult.
