About Alana
LCSW in Missouri with four years of clinical experience, Alana Borden focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. She offers practical, straightforward support and helps people identify strengths and build day-to-day coping skills. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to what is happening now and what changes a person wants to make.
Alana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address difficulties that often come from caregiving roles, adoption or foster-care histories, attachment concerns, and the impact of past trauma. She works with people who struggle with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, guilt and shame, impulsivity, or feelings of isolation. She also supports those facing communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and questions about life purpose or self-love.
In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, practice skills for emotional regulation, and try different ways of responding in relationships. She draws on structured tools as well as conversational work, and she checks in about what is and isn’t helping. The focus is on usable strategies that fit into daily life.
Alana’s background includes a Master of Social Work and licensure as a clinical social worker in Missouri. She speaks English and bases her work in practical problem-solving and skill building. Her style is direct and relational, with an emphasis on clear goals and measurable changes.

Evidence-based approaches and how they translate to online work
Alana names evidence-based therapeutic techniques as the foundation of her work. Two commonly used approaches she draws from are cognitive behavioral strategies and trauma-focused methods. Cognitive behavioral strategies involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood; these approaches suit worries, low mood, and problems with impulsivity.Trauma-focused interventions help people process distressing memories and reduce their day-to-day impact through structured steps and coping skills. These methods can be helpful for post-traumatic stress, trauma related to abuse, and attachment-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes checking progress and adapting methods when something isn’t working.
The practical benefits of remote work make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Since the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which formats are offered before booking. When available, remote appointments can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, and make it simpler to balance caregiving or work obligations with therapy sessions. Licensed professionals commonly use these options to help therapy fit into everyday routines.
