Alexander Haney, LPC, LPC-MHSP

Alexander Haney is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Specialist (LPC-MHSP) based in Tennessee. He works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma, addictions, and related mood or behavior challenges. He uses straightforward approaches to help clients set clear goals and make practical changes.

Alexander favors short, focused work when it fits a person's goal and also offers longer-term counseling if someone wants ongoing support. He blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with motivational techniques to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Sessions include talking through current problems, practicing skills, and setting steps to try between sessions.

He has six years of experience and has helped people with compulsive behaviors, panic and social anxiety, codependency, hoarding concerns, and recovery from infidelity among other issues. He also supports those navigating career choices, life transitions, and questions of purpose. His approach is practical and goal-oriented, aimed at creating useful tools for daily life.

Alexander encourages people who are new to therapy to give the process a real effort. He expects collaboration - client and therapist work together to test strategies and track progress. The aim is clearer self-understanding and more effective ways of coping.

People who choose to work with him can expect direct conversation, actionable homework, and regular review of goals. He speaks English and provides sessions online using video, phone, chat, or messaging options.

How Alexander uses CBT and ACT online

Alexander often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice how thoughts and actions keep problems going, then practices new behaviors and ways of thinking to reduce symptoms like panic, obsessive thoughts, or depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify personal values and build willingness to act toward those values despite unpleasant feelings. Both approaches focus on small, testable changes that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to decide whether CBT, ACT, or elements of motivational interviewing and relationship-focused methods fit best. This process includes reviewing goals, trying techniques, and adjusting based on what helps most in day-to-day life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. Video is useful for in-depth work and skill practice, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can support quick check-ins or brief coaching. These options help fit sessions around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities while keeping therapy practical and goal-directed.
