About Alana
Alana Pope is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Wisconsin and Georgia with nine years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, parenting strain, and low self-esteem. She also works with issues around relationships, grief, trauma and abuse, and feelings of guilt and shame. Sessions are offered in English and her practice is based in Wisconsin.
Alana’s approach is practical and conversational. She invites clients to name what feels most urgent and then focuses on doable steps to reduce overwhelm. In early sessions she listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and for what gets in the way of making changes. She talks through coping strategies, communication skills, and ways to rebuild confidence.
For people carrying guilt or shame, she pays attention to how those feelings affect daily life and relationships. She helps people sort through what they blame themselves for and what might be realistic to change. Work often includes building self-compassion, setting clear boundaries, and improving how someone talks to themselves.
Alana also supports people facing parenting stresses and addiction-related concerns by identifying small routines and choices that make a difference. She uses straightforward coaching and reflective conversation rather than long lectures. Progress is tracked in plain terms so clients can see what is changing.

How evidence-based techniques are used online
Alana draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide work on stress, anxiety, addictions, parenting strain, and feelings of guilt or shame. One common approach focuses on identifying thought patterns and testing them against real-life evidence, which helps reduce anxious thinking and self-blame. Another approach emphasizes building concrete skills such as breathing exercises, behavioral activation, and communication practices to improve mood and daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best based on current goals, what has or hasn’t worked before, and practical preferences for sessions. That collaborative selection is revisited as work progresses so methods can be adjusted.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, working with a licensed professional online can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats make it easier to avoid being on camera, others are better for longer conversation; Alana will discuss what works best for scheduling and the focus of the work.
