About Alexander

Alexander Haney is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) practicing in Tennessee. He has six years of clinical experience helping people with stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addictions, trauma, and relationship and family concerns.

Haney uses straightforward, action-focused methods in sessions. He leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. He also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Motivational Interviewing to clarify values and strengthen commitment to change.

Sessions are intended to be an ongoing process rather than a single meeting. Haney explains what to expect, sets practical goals, and works with people who are ready to do the work between sessions. He offers both shorter-term problem-focused work and longer-term follow-up depending on a person’s needs.

He has experience with obsessive and compulsive symptoms, panic and social anxiety, bipolar and other mood conditions, grief, anger, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. He also addresses life transitions, career concerns, codependency, infidelity, hoarding, isolation, and questions about life purpose.

In sessions, Haney emphasizes clear steps and measurable progress. He encourages people new to therapy to try concrete tools and to build habits that fit everyday life. The tone is practical and focused on getting results that matter at home and work.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and taking small, value-driven steps. It can help when life feels pulled in different directions or when someone wants clearer priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors, teaches practical skills, and uses short experiments to test new ways of coping. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, panic, and depressive symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan together. That collaborative process helps pick techniques that suit daily life and personal preferences.

The biography does not list which online session formats are used. Confirm the available session types before booking so you know what will fit your routine. Many people appreciate online visits for easier scheduling, fewer commutes, and the ability to fit a shorter check-in around work or childcare. Online sessions also make it simpler to practice tools between meetings and to bring real-life examples from home into the conversation.
