About Alana

Alana Jones is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 10 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, children, adolescents, and families. She earned a Master of Science in Counseling with a focus on Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy from the University of Phoenix in 2014 and brings experience working across multiple service systems, including mental health programs, non-public schools, social services and foster care, and juvenile justice and probation settings.

Her clinical work has addressed a wide range of concerns such as depression, stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, post-traumatic stress, and ADHD. Alana has delivered individual, group, family, and dyadic therapy, and has experience with crisis stabilization, intensive care coordination, case management, intensive home-based support services, and individual rehabilitation services.

Alana’s approach centers on the client and highlights strengths within individuals and within relationships. She emphasizes building an allyship with clients grounded in listening, validation, and collaborative decision making. Drawing on an eclectic toolkit, she integrates methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, narrative work, play therapy, solution-focused strategies, and trauma-informed interventions to tailor treatment to each person’s unique needs. She works with clients to set realistic goals and adjusts the treatment plan as progress is made, helping them move toward improved functioning and greater hope for the future.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape emotions and behavior. It explores patterns of connection and helps people and families rebuild trust and security, which can be especially useful for adoptees, parents, and those coping with relationship trauma.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and the client’s own wisdom. This approach supports self-esteem, decision making, and coping with life changes by creating space for clients to lead the pace and direction of therapy.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers practical strategies to address anxiety, depression, stress, and unhelpful habits by helping clients develop alternative thinking and behavior patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Alana collaborates with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call or phone, and shorter check-ins are possible via live chat or text-based messaging - allowing licensed professionals to work with clients in ways that fit busy schedules and differing comfort levels.
