About Alane
Alane Roath is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with 23 years of experience. She centers sessions on clear, practical steps and a collaborative relationship. Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles.
Alane emphasizes motivation and values when helping people make changes, using methods that focus on the person’s goals and readiness. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help reframe thoughts and on client-centered listening to make space for each person’s story. These methods are used to address trauma, mood disorders, addiction concerns, and problems with intimacy and self-esteem.
People come to Alane for support with life transitions, grief, communication problems, and burnout. She works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, caregiver stress, codependency, and issues that affect first responders. She also provides care for those exploring gender or sexual identity and for people facing cancer or serious health stressors.
Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and building coping strategies that fit into everyday life. Alane helps clients identify small, achievable steps toward their goals while noticing what matters most to them. The emphasis is on realistic change over time rather than quick fixes.
To start, someone completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Alane’s approach aims to be respectful and affirming while helping people find clearer purpose and steadier emotional footing.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Alane incorporates Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify what matters to them and build internal motivation for change. This approach focuses on listening, exploring values, and finding small steps toward meaningful goals. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that match personal values. Client-Centered Therapy is another influence, where the therapist offers nonjudgmental listening and supports the client’s own process of discovery.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alane will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, then adapt methods in a collaborative way. The plan can change as progress is made and new challenges appear.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people choose sessions that match their energy for video or audio and help maintain continuity through life transitions. -
