About Alexander

Alexander Haney is a Licensed Professional Counselor - Mental Health Specialist (LPC, LPC-MHSP) based in Tennessee who focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, and coping with life changes.

Background and approach

He also addresses co-morbidity, codependency, hoarding, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, mood disorders, obsessions and compulsions including OCD, panic disorder, and social anxiety and phobia. With six years of clinical experience, he brings practical, goal-oriented care to people who are ready to engage actively in therapy.

Haney blends evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), the Gottman Method for relationship work, and Motivational Interviewing to tailor treatment to each person’s needs. He supports both short-term and longer-term work depending on client preference, emphasizing that meaningful change usually unfolds across multiple sessions rather than in a single meeting.

He welcomes those new to therapy as well as people seeking structured, skills-based approaches to feel more grounded and purposeful. Clients can expect a collaborative process that prioritizes practical strategies, clearer self-understanding, and steps toward a more fulfilling life.

He describes therapy as an active commitment and aims to help individuals clarify their goals, build coping skills, and return to life with greater resilience and direction.

Evidence-Informed Therapies Delivered Online

Alexander Haney draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to address patterns of thinking and behavior and to build practical coping skills. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and related symptoms, while ACT emphasizes values-based action and psychological flexibility to help people respond differently to difficult emotions.

He approaches online work as a collaborative exploration to find the best fit for each individual. Together with clients he evaluates goals, preferences, and progress, adjusting methods and pacing so that therapy feels useful and aligned with the client’s priorities. This cooperative process helps determine whether short-term skills work or longer-term exploration is most appropriate.

Offering sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allows for greater flexibility and access to care regardless of schedule or location within Tennessee. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of treatment, practice new skills between sessions, and choose the communication style that fits daily life while working toward measurable goals.
