01About Alexander
Alexander Haney is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Specialist (LPC-MHSP) who helps people facing anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, relationship struggles, and trauma. He writes plainly and invites clients who want to work toward real change. Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, aimed at practical steps people can use between meetings.
Haney leans on therapies that encourage new behaviors and clearer thinking. He uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thought patterns.
Background and approach
Motivational Interviewing supports people who feel stuck or ambivalent about change. He also incorporates elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-driven action. With six years of practice in Tennessee, Haney offers both shorter-term problem-focused work and longer-term personal development.
He describes therapy as an active process that takes commitment, with progress happening through repeated effort and reflection. Sessions look for small, doable changes that add up over time. People meet him for help with obsessive or compulsive behaviors, panic and social anxiety, mood disorders, grief, intimacy or infidelity concerns, codependency, hoarding, and career or life-purpose questions.
He also supports those coping with co-occurring conditions and complex presentations. Haney provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Appointments are arranged through an online matching and scheduling flow, and sessions are offered in English for residents of Tennessee.

How evidence-based methods work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people focus on what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when uncomfortable feelings are present. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, and issues of life direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce panic, social anxiety, and depressive patterns. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people resolve mixed feelings and find motivation to change, often helpful with addiction or when someone feels stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and concerns and then suggest a plan. Clients and therapist decide together which methods fit best and adjust as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat or text messaging can support brief check-ins, accountability, or people who prefer typing over speaking. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and different comfort levels.
