About Alayne

Alayne Holland combines five years of clinical experience and dual licenses to offer personalized mental health care in Pennsylvania.

Background and approach

As an MD and as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C and LCSW), she draws on evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, self-esteem struggles, and motivation. She emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and compassionate collaboration while adapting conversation and treatment plans to each person's needs.

Her practice attends to a wide range of issues from grief, anger, and relationship challenges to bipolar disorder, ADHD, and career-related stressors, with additional focus on attachment and abandonment concerns, communication and commitment problems, blended family dynamics, and body image or codependency themes.

Alayne supports clients seeking practical coping strategies as well as deeper exploration of emotional patterns and painful past experiences. She maintains a independent practice, Frame of Mind Therapy, LLC, and accepts Aetna and Cigna as well as out-of-network clients for those arranging their own reimbursement.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Alayne commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing concrete skills to manage symptoms like anxiety or low mood. ACT encourages acceptance of difficult emotions while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful action steps, which can help when coping with life changes or persistent internal struggle.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each client to explore which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the particular challenges they bring, and then tailor sessions to blend skill-building, present-focused practices, and deeper attachment-informed exploration when needed.

Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible to access regular support and practical tools from home or other convenient locations while adapting frequency and format as needs evolve.
