Alana Jones is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 10 years of clinical experience. She earned a Master of Science in Counseling with a specialization in Marriage, Family, and Child Therapy from the University of Phoenix in 2014 and has supported people across the lifespan, including young children, adolescents, adults, couples, and whole families. Her background includes work within multiple service systems - mental health organizations, non-public school settings, social services and foster care, and juvenile justice and probation - which informs her ability to navigate complex situations and coordinate care across providers.

Alana has worked with a broad range of concerns, such as depression, stress and anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, post-traumatic stress, and ADHD. She 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. As an LMFT, she is trained to address relationship and family dynamics alongside individual concerns.

Her clinical stance is client-centered and strengths-focused, helping people identify and build on their existing resources while fostering hope. She takes an eclectic approach when appropriate, drawing from methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused perspectives, EMDR, Narrative Therapy, Play Therapy, Solution-Focused techniques, and trauma-focused strategies to tailor treatment to each person and family. Alana emphasizes collaboration with clients to set goals and adjust treatment as progress is made.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Alana uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and to help rebuild trust and safety in close relationships. This approach is useful for clients coping with attachment concerns, relationship difficulties, and issues rooted in early caregiving. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting clients to find their own solutions; this approach helps people feel heard and empowered as they navigate life transitions and personal challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool she uses to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to teach practical strategies for managing symptoms like anxiety and depression.



Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alana works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and needs, and she tailors techniques over time so the treatment fits the individual or family rather than forcing a single method.



Online therapy with Alana is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life circumstances. These options make it easier to access skilled, licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, support continuity of care, and allow people to engage in therapy in the way that feels most workable for them.
