About Alana
Alana Jones is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, trauma, and relationship struggles. Her work aims to make day-to-day life more manageable and to restore a sense of hope and direction.
She uses a client-centered style that keeps the person in charge of their goals. Sessions emphasize listening, validation, and practical steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
Alana looks for strengths in each person and in their relationships to build on during therapy. Her approach is adaptable and draws from several methods, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR when trauma work is needed. She describes therapy as collaborative and adjusts plans as things change or progress is made.
Alana has ten years of experience working across many settings, including mental health programs and services for people connected to foster care and social services. That background informs her work with adoption- and caregiver-related issues as well as post-traumatic stress concerns. When someone starts, she focuses on clear, achievable goals and practical coping strategies.
Sessions can include talking through emotions, practicing new ways to respond, and planning small experiments to test different approaches. The aim is steady, usable change rather than quick fixes.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on feelings in relationships and helps people notice and change patterns that keep them stuck. It can be useful for people struggling with attachment, communication, and strong emotional reactions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of connecting. It helps people understand why they react as they do and practice new ways of relating that feel safer and more supportive.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, then tests new behaviors and thinking patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what actually helps the client reach their goals.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls let the therapist and client read facial expressions and tone. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a break at work. Live chat or text works well for shorter check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
