About Alana

Alana Jones is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with a decade of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, addictions, grief, anger, self-esteem concerns, career transitions, coping with life changes, coaching needs, and ADHD. Her practice also includes focused experience with adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, and post-traumatic stress.

Over her career she has provided individual, group, family, and dyadic therapy and has supported clients through crisis stabilization, care coordination, case management, and rehabilitation services. Her style centers on a client-centered stance that encourages people to guide their own goals while she highlights strengths and fosters hope.

Alana draws from attachment-based ideas to explore relationships, uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address thinking and behavior patterns, and applies trauma-focused methods such as EMDR when appropriate. She integrates approaches to fit each person's needs and emphasizes collaboration, validation, and building an allied therapeutic relationship to support practical change and improved quality of life.

Integrating attachment, CBT, and trauma care online

Alana commonly uses attachment-based ideas to explore how relationships shape emotional responses and safety in close connections; this approach helps when relationship patterns or family dynamics are a core concern. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. For clients affected by traumatic events, she draws on trauma-focused interventions including EMDR to address distress tied to traumatic memories and to reduce their ongoing impact.

Choosing the right method is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to consider their goals, symptoms, and preferences and will adjust strategies over time as progress and new needs emerge. This cooperative approach helps tailor the work to what actually helps the client feel and function better.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life changes, and access care from home or work. Licensed professionals offering these formats aim to make evidence-informed approaches like attachment-informed work, CBT, and trauma techniques available in ways that suit each client's routine and comfort.
