About Alane
Alane Roath is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Missouri with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and a wide range of related concerns. Her practice also addresses issues such as addiction, grief, intimacy-related struggles, self-esteem, and compassion fatigue.
Roath focuses on practical, person-focused work. Sessions aim to clarify what matters to each person and to build skills for everyday challenges. She draws on approaches that include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy. These methods guide conversations about attachment, abandonment, communication problems, and family of origin issues.
She also supports people dealing with life transitions such as divorce and separation, caregiver stress, cancer-related concerns, and the stresses that come from first responder roles. Additional attention is given to OCD, mood disorders including bipolar, gender dysphoria, and struggles with guilt and shame. Roath names LGBT and family concerns among her focus areas and aims to respect diverse identities.
In sessions she works collaboratively to develop coping strategies and to improve communication patterns. She helps clients make choices that match their values and to reduce behaviors that get in the way of daily life. The work combines short-term tools and longer conversations about meaning and relationships.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and to take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and choosing how to respond in difficult family situations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, mood difficulties, and obsessive-compulsive concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on emotions in close relationships and can help with communication and attachment struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. That collaborative plan can combine skills practice, emotion-focused conversations, and values-based steps as needed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around parenting, work, and appointments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that do not require being on camera. These practical choices help integrate therapy into everyday life while focusing on the issues that matter most.
