About Alane

Alane Roath is a licensed professional counselor in Missouri who draws on 23 years of clinical experience to support people navigating complex emotional challenges.

Background and approach

She uses cognitive behavioral therapy alongside other evidence-based methods to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, develop practical coping skills, and make changes that align with their values. Her work often addresses depression, anxiety, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns, with attention to mood disorders, substance-related struggles, and intimacy-related issues.

Her practice emphasizes an affirming, collaborative approach that honors diverse identities and life stories. Alane also focuses on needs that arise from grief, caregiver stress, codependency, attachment and abandonment wounds, and issues tied to gender identity and sexuality.

Clients benefit from interventions aimed at communication problems, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, and finding purpose amid life transitions. Alane integrates acceptance and commitment strategies, client-centered techniques, and emotionally-focused work to tailor treatment to each person.

She offers flexible session formats and a patient-centered process designed to build resilience, reduce isolation, and support meaningful change over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to your life

Alane commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, and mood regulation. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which focuses on clarifying values, increasing psychological flexibility, and learning to live alongside difficult emotions rather than allowing them to dictate choices. Finally, client-centered methods create a warm, nonjudgmental environment where the person’s own goals guide the work and empathy, listening, and validation are central.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and happens collaboratively. The therapist will work with each client to consider presenting concerns, personal goals, and preferred ways of working, adjusting methods as the relationship and progress unfold.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make scheduling easier and allow continuity of care when life gets busy. These formats offer flexibility for people who need varied session styles or who prefer to engage from home, and they make it possible to integrate therapy into daily routines while maintaining a consistent, licensed professional relationship.
