About Alaine
Alaine Lagasse is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC in Minnesota and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - LPCC in Alaska with 12 years of experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, relationship and family concerns, and other life changes. Sessions are offered in English and she lists blended family issues among her additional focus areas.
Her work began supporting military veterans through readjustment to civilian life. That role involved addressing combat and sexual trauma, substance use, career shifts, and relationship strain. Since then she has worked with a wide range of people who have experienced physical or emotional trauma and abuse.
Alaine uses straightforward, interactive sessions. She values honest conversation and encourages clients to face difficult feelings rather than avoid them. She also states respect for people across sexual orientations and gender identities, including those who identify as Straight, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, or Questioning.
Her approach mixes cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She also uses client-centered methods and motivational interviewing to help people set realistic goals and notice what matters to them.
People seeking help with parenting in a stepfamily or navigating blended household routines may find her familiar with those concerns. She frames work as a collaborative process and focuses on practical steps that can be applied between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Alaine integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and accepting difficult thoughts while still taking steps that matter to you. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful habits.She also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's own goals and on motivational interviewing to support readiness for change. The therapist will treat choosing an approach as a collaborative process. Together they will try methods, check how they fit, and adjust the plan based on progress and preferences.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, handle brief check-ins without travel, and use written exercises between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT tools to an online setting so people can practice skills at home and build routines that support blended household changes.
