About Alana
Alana Geller is a licensed mental health counselor in New York who focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, family concerns, trauma and abuse, and grief. She takes a straightforward, person-centered approach and aims to make therapy feel calm and practical for people who are juggling busy lives.
Sessions are meant to help clients talk through what matters now and take steps that feel doable at home. Alana describes herself as trauma-informed and works from a perspective that respects each person's story.
Background and approach
She balances listening with gentle challenge, encouraging clients to try new ways of coping and relating. That combination is intended to move people toward the changes they want, at a pace that fits them. In early sessions she focuses on understanding what is most troubling and what a better week would look like.
From there she and the client set realistic goals and try techniques that match those goals. Progress is tracked in simple, practical ways so people can see what is helping. Her training is reflected in the LMHC credential, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor.
Alana has three years of professional experience working with the concerns listed above. She conducts sessions in English and practices from New York. People who choose her can expect a direct, compassionate style that combines listening with problem-solving.
The emphasis is on learning tools to manage symptoms and on real-life changes that fit each person’s values and responsibilities.
How Alana blends approaches for online therapy
Alana uses evidence-based techniques tailored to each person's needs. One common approach focuses on grounding and stabilization after trauma. It teaches simple skills to manage overwhelming feelings and reduce day-to-day distress so people can function more comfortably at home and work.Another approach emphasizes person-centered work, which means conversations center on the client's experience and goals. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the client identify small, achievable steps toward change. This method works well for anxiety, relationship concerns, and grief because it starts from what matters most to the client.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each client to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision can shift as progress is made and new challenges arise.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. These formats allow regular check-ins, skills practice between sessions, and flexibility for parents or workers who need different ways to connect with a licensed professional.
