About Alana
Alana Woods, LCSW, helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family struggles. She works with those dealing with trauma, grief, parenting challenges, addiction, mood concerns, ADHD, and self-esteem issues. Her tone is warm and direct, and she aims to make therapy feel comfortable even when conversations are hard.
Alana focuses on building a trusting relationship first. She centers sessions on each person’s needs and strengths and encourages practical steps that suit daily life.
Background and approach
Her approach is collaborative and transparent so clients know what to expect and can shape goals together. In sessions she draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and client-centered methods to strengthen relationships and emotion-focused work to process difficult feelings. She also uses cognitive-behavioral tools and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when helpful for coping and behavior change.
These methods are used to help people manage overwhelming emotions, repair connection, and build new habits. Alana has five years of clinical experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida. She has worked with people affected by trauma, family and relational dynamics, substance use, and concerns about self-worth.
That background informs a practical, compassionate style that balances support with skill-building. People who choose her often want a therapist who listens without judgment and helps them find clear next steps. Sessions focus on what matters now and on building resources they can use outside of therapy.

Online support
Attachment-informed and skills-based care online
Alana incorporates Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand how early and current relationships shape their emotional responses and connection patterns. That work often focuses on increasing trust, improving communication, and repairing relational wounds in day-to-day life.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the person's own goals and perspective. This approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s pace so they guide what feels most important. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides concrete tools for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and managing symptoms in the moment.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. She works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. That choice is collaborative and may shift over time as progress and challenges emerge.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video is good for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging formats work for brief check-ins or ongoing support between live sessions. These options aim to make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and daily life.
