About Alana

Alana Pope is a Licensed Professional Counselor who draws on nine years of clinical experience to help people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, parenting concerns, and low self-esteem. She offers a calm, straightforward presence so people can talk about what matters. The first step can feel hard, and she acknowledges that courage in anyone who reaches out.

Her approach centers on building an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings are welcomed.

Background and approach

Sessions move at a practical pace. She helps clients identify clear goals and small, manageable steps toward them. Alana has worked with adults facing depression, grief, trauma, and relationship strain.

She also supports people dealing with social anxiety, guilt, shame, and isolation. Common conversations cover communication problems, forgiveness, life purpose, and self-love. She is licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC in Wisconsin (WI LPC 7528-125) and in Georgia (GA LPC LPC013148).

That training informs her day-to-day counseling work and decision making. Sessions are conducted in English and are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Practical matters like scheduling and subscription details are handled up front so clients can focus on progress.

Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life

Alana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and learning new responses; this helps reduce anxiety, low mood, and social worry. Another approach emphasizes building skills and routines to manage cravings and addictive behaviors while strengthening motivation and coping. These methods are hands-on and aimed at changes people can practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist works collaboratively to choose what fits each person. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, then adapt methods as needed so therapy stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Those options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue work when in-person meetings aren’t practical. Licensed professionals can use these formats to support steady progress while keeping the focus on real-life changes and solutions.
