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 people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, addictions, grief, and anger. He also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, life changes, and questions about purpose and career direction.

Haney favors straightforward, goal-focused work. He uses methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing and also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship concerns. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can practice between meetings. He emphasizes active participation rather than passive treatment.

Clients who are new to therapy are welcome to learn basic skills for managing panic, obsessions and compulsions, social anxiety, and codependency patterns. Haney discusses options for shorter-term problem-focused work and longer-term personal development. He explains the time commitment up front and collaborates on realistic goals.

In sessions he breaks complex problems into manageable actions. That can mean adjusting thinking patterns, practicing exposure for anxiety, or working on communication and repair in relationships. He encourages tracking progress and using measurable steps to reduce reactivity and build steadier responses.

Practical tools and coaching are part of the offering alongside traditional talk work. Haney helps people build routines, plan for setbacks, and choose methods that fit their daily life. He asks clients to be active in the process and to try out new behaviors between sessions.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Alexander commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in session. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and practicing alternative behaviors to reduce reactivity and anxiety. Motivational Interviewing helps clarify a person’s reasons for change and supports steady progress through small, achievable steps.

Choosing the right method is collaborative. He will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then recommend approaches to try. Sessions can shift over time from skills training to relationship work or coaching as needs change.

Confirm current session formats before booking since options are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins, or avoid travel time. It also lets people use focused practice exercises and homework between meetings so skills carry into everyday life.
