She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches and adapts the work to each person's needs. Sessions are conversational and interactive.
Background and approach
Alana listens first, then suggests strategies and skills people can try between sessions to notice change. Alana trained in clinical mental health counseling and has worked in clinical settings for several years. She holds LCPC and LPC credentials and practices in Montana.
Her background includes helping people process traumatic experiences and recover from emotional abuse. Her style blends attachment-focused ideas with emotionally focused techniques and skills from dialectical behavior work. That mix helps people understand relationship patterns, name feelings clearly, and build coping skills for intense emotions.
People who reach out can expect straightforward goals, collaborative planning, and check-ins on progress. Alana avoids labels that feel stigmatizing and focuses on what helps a person feel safer and more able to move forward. She asks people to note scheduling constraints, since weekend hours are not offered.
If someone is ready to start, Alana works with them to find a weekly rhythm that fits their life.
How attachment and skill-based approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns, practice new ways of relating, and build more supported interactions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's perspective and pacing; the therapist follows the client's lead and offers empathic reflection to help people make sense of their feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together and teaches concrete tools to shift unhelpful patterns, which can be practiced between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That might mean mixing attachment ideas with CBT skills or using emotionally focused methods to address relationship strain. Decisions are made together and adjusted as progress unfolds.
Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit check-ins into busy days and to use messaging for brief updates or coping prompts. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, family, and life demands.
