About Alana
Alana Jones is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California who helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and grief. She works with parenting concerns, adoption and foster care issues, caregiving strain, and people coping with life changes. Alana draws on ten years of clinical experience to guide practical steps forward.
Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions are built around what each person wants to change. She listens, highlights strengths, and helps people choose the next right step for themselves.
Background and approach
Therapy is described as a partnership where the client keeps the steering wheel. Alana blends methods to fit individual needs rather than following a single technique. She commonly uses attachment-based ideas to improve relationships and cognitive behavioral strategies to shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.
She also uses emotion-focused tools and trauma-focused work when past trauma affects daily life. In practical terms she offers tools for managing anger and stress, skills for parenting and caregiving, and approaches to handle addictive behaviors and ADHD challenges. Sessions often include skill practice, behavior changes, and checking what feels useful between meetings.
Her background includes work across many settings, including foster care and services for people affected by trauma and post-traumatic stress. Alana emphasizes creating a dependable therapeutic relationship and helping people develop realistic plans they can use outside session.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Alana often uses attachment-based therapy to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions. This can help when anger or relationship patterns trace back to early bonds or current close connections. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear, practical steps that people can practice between sessions. When trauma is part of the picture, she brings in trauma-focused methods to help reduce the hold of painful memories and stress responses.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try methods that fit. If something is not helping, treatment is adjusted so sessions remain useful and focused on realistic progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues when needed. Phone sessions are useful for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief support, ongoing coaching, or when writing out thoughts helps more than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
