Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel heard and steady during hard moments.

Background and approach
Her background includes five years of clinical practice working with issues linked to trauma, attachment, substance use, and self-esteem. She draws from a range of therapy ideas to fit the situation rather than following a single script. That lets her adapt to different patterns in relationships and behavior.
In session she keeps language simple and actions clear. Clients can expect direct conversation, collaborative planning, and real-life skill building like emotion management and problem solving. She also uses relational work to help with communication and connection when needed.
Alana provides sessions in formats such as video calls, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Her approach aims to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives, while focusing on steady progress and practical coping tools.
Approaches that guide online work and connection
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. It helps people understand patterns that come from early or important relationships and build more supported ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience front and center - the therapist listens without judgment and helps the client find their own solutions and direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors together and teaches specific tools for changing unhelpful thinking and building healthier habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review concerns and goals, then recommend one or more methods to try. This is a collaborative process where the plan can change based on what feels helpful and what produces progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversations and skills practice. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow for ongoing notes, quick support, or flexibility during busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a routine while still using the approaches described above.
