About Alaine
Alaine Lagasse is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC, LPCC) with 12 years of experience practicing in Minnesota.
Background and approach
She has built a practice helping people navigate complex emotional states and life transitions, drawing on a blend of evidence-informed therapies to address issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and ADHD. Her training in both Minnesota and Alaska is reflected in her clinical perspective and her work emphasizes practical strategies alongside compassionate support.
Her therapeutic style is interactive and straightforward, favoring honest conversation and collaborative problem solving. She combines cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to tailor plans that match each person’s needs, while also incorporating motivational interviewing and client-centered principles when useful.
Alaine aims to help clients build coping skills, clarify values, and move toward meaningful change through focused, respectful dialogue. Clients who appreciate a direct but empathetic approach may find her method a good fit.
She offers flexible online options and structures sessions to meet the realities of everyday life, supporting people as they take practical steps toward improved functioning and well-being.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed action in spite of uncomfortable thoughts or feelings; it is often used to address anxiety, depression, and difficulties with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering practical strategies for issues like stress, sleep problems, and mood regulation. Mindfulness-based techniques teach present-moment awareness and self-compassion, which can reduce reactivity and support coping with trauma and addictive behaviors.Finding the right approach is collaborative rather than fixed. The therapist will work with the client to explore which methods align with their goals, needs, and preferences, and adapt treatment over time to maximize fit and usefulness for the individual.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes scheduling more flexible and allows people to engage from familiar settings. These formats can make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access consistent support during life transitions, and use therapy tools between meetings, while still working with a licensed professional to address current concerns.
