About Alexander
Alexander Haney is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Specialist (LPC-MHSP) in Tennessee with six years of clinical experience. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, and codependency. Alexander also supports people dealing with OCD, panic, social anxiety, hoarding, infidelity, and career or life-purpose questions.
He uses straightforward, active methods in sessions. Expect goal-oriented work that mixes cognitive behavioral strategies with acceptance-based ideas and motivational interviewing. He also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship-focused work. Sessions focus on skills, practice, and clear steps you can take between meetings.
Alexander often helps people who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or losing themselves around others. He aims to make therapy practical: identifying patterns, trying new behaviors, and tracking results. He frames therapy as a course of work rather than a single conversation, so regular sessions and follow-up are part of the plan.
He offers both shorter-term problem-focused work and longer-term support, depending on what the person prefers. He describes therapy as an active process that asks for commitment to change and learning new ways of managing stress and relationships. Over time, clients can expect clearer goals, more consistent boundaries, and better tools for handling difficult emotions.
Alexander practices in Tennessee and works in English. Before booking, confirm the current session options and formats he is offering.
How sessions work
How Alexander Uses ACT, CBT and Motivational Interviewing Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed steps that match what matters to you, which can help with anxiety, low mood, and codependency patterns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. It uses exercises, tracking, and practice to reduce anxiety, panic, OCD patterns, and negative mood. Sessions often include homework and measurable goals.
Motivational Interviewing supports readiness to change by exploring your own reasons for wanting different behavior. It works well when people feel stuck or ambivalent about changing substance use, routines, or relationship habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alexander will talk with the client about problems, goals, and preferences, then recommend a mix of methods. This is collaborative; the plan can shift as progress and new information emerge.
Confirm the specific online session formats he currently offers before booking, since the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins can fit a work break, and video sessions let you use visual tools and worksheets. Therapists and licensed professionals commonly adapt exercises for remote sessions so people can practice new skills between meetings.
