About Alana
Alana Pope is a Licensed Professional Counselor with nine years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction concerns. She practices in Wisconsin and focuses on building a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through hard things and figure out next steps.
She often helps people work through parenting challenges, struggles with self-esteem and confidence, and relationship or family tension. Grief, trauma, and patterns of isolation or social anxiety are also areas she addresses in sessions.
Background and approach
Alana listens for the practical problems behind intense feelings and helps clients break them into small, workable steps. Her approach centers on clear communication and real-world tools. Sessions include talking, problem-solving, and small assignments to try between meetings.
She emphasizes honest conversation about guilt, shame, forgiveness, and life purpose so people can move forward at their own pace. Alana aims to make starting therapy less intimidating. She encourages questions about how therapy works and what to expect from the first few meetings.
Her style is straightforward and warm, focused on making steady progress. She holds LPC credentialing and brings nearly a decade of practice to each appointment. People who want flexible ways to meet can work with her through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
How evidence-based techniques translate to online care
Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on practical skills and short-term changes. Cognitive approaches help people identify unhelpful thoughts and practice new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Behavioral strategies encourage small, manageable actions that rebuild confidence and replace avoidance in areas like social anxiety or addictions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past, then recommend techniques to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is tracked.
Online therapy with her uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make meeting more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, homework review, or when a quick message fits a busy day. These options aim to fit therapy into everyday life and keep momentum between meetings.
