About Alana
Alana Gottler is a licensed social worker in Michigan with six years of clinical experience. She works with people who are struggling with family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, and ADHD. Her approach is straightforward and respectful.
She aims to meet people where they are and help them take practical steps forward. Alana listens carefully to each person's story and tailors sessions to their needs. She focuses on everyday strategies that can make life feel more manageable.
Background and approach
That might mean planning small behavior changes, practicing ways to lower stress, or mapping out safer ways to respond when anger flares. She pays attention to how relationships and attachment patterns affect coping and well-being. Work on body image, control issues, forgiveness, and self-love are handled with sensitivity.
Alana also supports people through pregnancy and childbirth concerns and other women’s issues when they come up in sessions. Trauma-related care and help for post-traumatic stress are offered with attention to pacing and safety. Sessions balance understanding what happened with concrete tools for handling triggers and strong emotions.
The goal is to build skills that fit each person’s life. Alana adapts her style to suit different needs and communication preferences. She encourages people to take small, realistic steps and checks in about what is and isn’t working.
That makes the work feel practical and reachable rather than overwhelming.
Practical approaches and online care that fit your life
Alana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on usable skills people can apply day to day. One approach emphasizes building emotion regulation and anger management skills through structured practice and coaching, which helps when strong feelings get in the way of daily life. Another approach looks at attachment and relationship patterns to understand how early relationships affect current behavior and closeness, helping people change how they relate to others.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That means checking in, trying things, and adjusting plans based on what helps most.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and preferences. Video sessions let people talk face to face, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, and messaging or chat can suit quick updates or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep regular care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
