About Alana
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 10 years of experience, Alana Jones helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and relationship strain. She also focuses on ADHD, grief, anger, self-esteem, career transitions, and issues connected to adoption and foster care. Alana works with people facing caregiving stress and post-traumatic stress as part of her practice. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients.
Alana adopts a client-centered stance that keeps the person in control of their goals and decisions. She draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and uses cognitive behavioral tools to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy and EMDR are part of her toolkit for working with strong emotions and trauma-related material.
In practice she aims to highlight strengths in individuals and in their relationships. Conversations tend to focus on concrete steps and manageable skills alongside emotional processing. She describes her method as eclectic - pulling different approaches together so treatment fits the presenting issues.
Her background includes work across mental health programs, non-public school settings, social services and foster care systems, and juvenile justice contexts. That experience informs how she supports people who have had contact with multiple systems.
To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules a first session. Alana uses a subscription payment model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to virtual care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect feelings and behavior. In online sessions Alana would help identify recurring interaction styles and practice new ways of relating that reduce conflict and emotional reactivity.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's own goals and pacing. In remote sessions this often means the therapist follows the client's lead, reflecting concerns and checking in about what matters most so progress stays relevant to daily life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Online work with CBT can include short skills practice between sessions, brief thought records, and focused behavior changes that fit into a client's routine.
Finding the best approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy around work, caregiving, or travel. Remote work can make shorter check-ins easier, reduce the need to travel, and allow for practice of skills in real-life settings while still reviewing them with a therapist.
