Background and approach

She also addresses concerns such as addictions, mood conditions, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and identity-related matters. Conversation is direct and supportive, aimed at reducing distress and improving daily functioning. Therapy sessions draw on several proven methods.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps change unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-based action when painful feelings come up. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people better understand and express strong emotions.

Alane creates a respectful space that honors diverse backgrounds and identities. She helps people work through communication problems, family-of-origin issues, abandonment or attachment wounds, and relationship shifts like separation or divorce. Practical skills, clearer thinking patterns, and new ways to cope are common goals.

Sessions are offered through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Alane’s Missouri license number is MO LPC 2006011379 and she conducts sessions in English. If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How her approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that match what matters most. It is helpful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where avoidance keeps someone from moving forward.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to change thinking patterns and behaviors that make problems worse. It works well for anxiety, obsessive thoughts, mood concerns, and habits someone wants to change.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and express strong emotions so they can understand patterns that create pain in close relationships. It is useful when intense feelings or communication breakdowns are part of the problem.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past. Together they pick methods and pace that fit the person’s needs and life circumstances.

Online therapy with Alane includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain regular contact between sessions, and use short check-ins or longer conversations as needed. Licensed professionals can adapt the methods above to work effectively across these online options.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
