About Alana
Alana Jones is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting concerns. She also supports those dealing with addictions, grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and career or life transitions. Her approach is warm and practical, aimed at making therapy feel approachable and useful.
Alana draws on a client-centered stance that keeps the person in control of their goals and pace.
Background and approach
She looks for strengths in each person and in relationships, and she helps people notice what already works. Sessions focus on clear, doable steps rather than jargon or long lectures. She uses a mix of methods to fit each situation, including cognitive behavioral techniques, attachment-focused work, emotionally-focused approaches, and EMDR when appropriate.
That lets her address both current problems and the events that led to them. Alana adapts plans as progress is made so the work stays relevant. Her background includes ten years in clinical settings that served people with varied needs, including those involved with foster care and social services.
She has experience offering individual and relational supports, crisis stabilization, and coordination with other services when needed. Alana aims to be an ally in the therapy process. She listens, validates, and helps people make choices that improve daily life.
People who want straightforward, collaborative care often find her style helpful.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Alana commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR in her work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. EMDR addresses memories and reactions tied to trauma by using structured processing techniques to reduce distress and improve how people feel about past events.She also uses attachment-based ideas to understand how relationships shape emotions and behavior. That approach looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people develop more supported, supportive ways of relating. Together these approaches allow the therapist and client to target symptoms and the underlying experiences behind them in a collaborative way.
Online therapy with Alana is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for full conversations and therapeutic exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts between sessions, track progress, or get brief coaching without scheduling a full appointment.
She will work with each person to decide which approaches and formats fit their goals and daily life, and she adjusts the plan as needs change to keep the work practical and relevant.
