About Alana
Alana Geller is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in New York who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and relationship concerns. She offers straightforward support for everyday struggles and big life changes. Her approach aims to meet people where they are and help them move toward clearer goals.
Alana uses a person-centered stance that focuses on each person's experience and priorities. She is trauma-informed and pays attention to how past hurt can shape current reactions.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative and paced to match what each person needs in the moment. In the room she balances empathy with gentle challenge. That means listening closely, naming patterns that get in the way, and trying new ways of coping together.
Clients can expect practical conversation and small, manageable steps between sessions. Her work includes helping people process loss and grief, manage intense or persistent anxiety, and repair or reframe relationship patterns. She supports people who want more calm, clearer boundaries, or better emotional understanding of themselves and others.
Alana has three years of clinical experience and holds a New York LMHC credential. She offers sessions using video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what fits their life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Alana draws on person-centered techniques that focus on the client's experience and priorities. That means sessions begin with listening closely to what matters most, building from strengths, and shaping goals the client wants to reach. This approach helps when someone feels overwhelmed or unsure where to start.She also uses trauma-informed practices to recognize how past events affect current feelings and behavior. This includes pacing conversations carefully, naming patterns that cause distress, and introducing coping tools to manage intense reactions. These steps can help people who carry grief or anxiety linked to earlier hurt.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what helps, adjust methods as needed, and set short-term steps to track progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexible ways to connect. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can be helpful for quick check-ins, brief coping strategies, or fitting support into a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around life commitments.
