More about Alaine
- 12 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Minnesota and Alaska with 10 years of experience. As a readjustment counselor I worked with military veterans transitioning from military to civilian life. I assisted clients with various concerns associated with combat and sexual trauma including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, substances abuse, and career challenges. As an independent contractor working with the BetterHelp platform I help many people from all walks of life who have experienced physical and emotional trauma and/or abuse.
My counseling style is interactive but somewhat direct as I believe in honesty and facing our fears. I also believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I respect and honor all, including those who identify as Straight, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender or Questioning. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness and acceptance & commitment therapy. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Nice person
Amazing
I feel very compatible with Alaine and have been enjoying our sessions together. She is a great listener, and remembers details of our previous discussions.
She listens well
She is a fantastic influence and challenges me to be my best.
Thank you for hearing me and my feelings
Very good at understanding and just listening. Walks you through the journey and doesn't rush you
Alaine is an amazing person and listener. We saw eye to eye on day one. Alaine is compassionate and offers out great solutions. I get sad every time I say "goodbye"
Alaine is extremely down to earth and easygoing. I was instantly at ease with her and appreciated how she both listened intently and kept the conversation going with engaging questions. I’ve already recommended her to several friends.
I appreciate her feedbacks and actively communicates ideas to help me work through my concerns during our sessions. She has given me resources to also use in my healing journey.
The 2 sessions I've had so far have helped immensely! She calls me out when I need it and celebrates my wins with me.
Alaine has really helped open my mind to thinking about things in a different light. I’m working on how I respond to various scenarios and she is assisting me with this. Also I am working on acknowledging what I value most in life. Alaine provides helpful worksheets sent through the app that grows my awareness. She recommended a great book called The Four Agreements and I am loving it. She makes me feel heard and that my feelings are important. Alaine is a wonderful listener and has useful feedback. Thank you for your time, Alaine :)
He was a great listener who understood where I came from, but also challenged/encouraged me to be a better person and strive to live a happier, more balanced life when it came to my anger and the management of it.
Alaine dove right in to the muck of it all with me and really focused on helping with the things I felt mattered most. I appreciated that she didn’t spend 3 sessions with intake, bunt instead asked me questions about my past when it was relevant. She has a menagerie of tool, resources, and books to help guide. She is constantly learning more to help her clients. I appreciate her so much in the wisdom she has helped me to gain. I am forever grateful
Alaine is an amazing therapist who understands me and supports me in my growth and development. She is very patient and tries in each session to leave me feeling better than we started. I appreciate her sound advice and guidance and the tools she is providing me with. Thank god our paths crossed
Alaine is the exact personality type I need. She challenges my current thinking and is thoughtful in her responses. She helps me pinpoint the issues I need to work on first and long term.
Excellent so far.
Alaine is a calm and wise presence. Her balance of empathy and providing concrete methodology exercises is actively helping me make progress.
Alaine was useful in a few ways. She helped me see that I have more control of my life than I thought. I'm journaling now. I've learned that I don't have to believe everything I think.
I have seen many therapists and Alaine has by far listened and treated me the best. She is fantastic and offers many self help options including literature, journaling, and work books.
Alaine’s empathetic and non-judgmental approach created a safe space for me to explore my deepest thoughts and emotions. Her genuine commitment to my well-being was evident in every session.
Very impressed with how much Alaine gets me thinking and finding out the "whys" behind my behaviors.
She was very easy to talk to, even through video I felt like she was listening and paying attention.
Alaine has been very patient and understanding with very good questions to help me understand my position on things a little better. Also, has been very professional and understanding for my needs for therapy.
Alaine and I have just started but I can tell she is going to challenge me and my thinking; I need that. She is a great listener and even as I meander through my stories she gets all the points. I look forward to our meetings and her help to challenge my thinking and to help make me the best me possible.
Alaine is wonderful. Great sense of humor. Very understanding & compassionate.
Alaine was kind, gentle, and welcoming. As someone new to therapy, I appreciate her energy and kindness.
Very good listener. I found sessions with Alaine to be very helpful.
Alaine is an outstanding therapist. She is an empathetic listener and offers great advice for difficult family and work situations. She is good about gentle truth and she has helped me to create more awareness of my own habit energy and conditioning from childhood. Alaine is amazing.
Thank you for the support
Alaine is a lovely human and I am grateful to work with her.
It is great to share some of the difficulties and struggles i have in my life. Alaine is a wonderful listener, I feel like I could talk with her everyday to keep her in tune with my challenges. The reality is, she gives me confidence and great feedback on how to work through the week. Her responses are thoughtful, and other professional approaches are incorporated to empower me.
Alaine has listened to me talk through things I've not spoken of for years, and things I've not shared with anyone before. She listens before she responds and offers only as much as I am ready to hear (at least that's how it feels to me). I have received so much from her and moved past obstacles that have slowed my growth and development. She's helped me see that my life and many choices I've made, have not been a "mistake or blunder" that they've felt like for so long.
I feel very lucky to have been placed with Alaine. I was hesitant about the online, like how personal would it be but I am convinced..
Alaine is one of the most caring therapists I have worked with. She is very genuine, professional, and knowledgeable. During the time I met with her, it became evident that she is extremely passionate about helping people, and is willing to work hard alongside her clients to give individualized support and guidance. She provides honesty and a logical perspective that can bring clarity when you are feeling lost. She is reliable and compassionate, and can easily be the trustworthy support you need to get better.
She is wonderful
She’s the best therapist I’ve ever had. She’s considerate and knows exactly what to say.
Alaine is great ! She is knowledgeable and kind but most importantly a good listener. She is very well educated in the field and offers great resources. I feel lucky that I get to work with her.
Spot on therapy!
Very thoughtful, specific and constructive advice!
My therapist was able to meet with within a day. She was kind, open, and very supportive. I found conversing with her easy and immediately felt that she understood my situation. She had time to follow up with me every couple of days. She provided tools along the way. But most importantly she listened, asked good questions and made me feel she was there for me. She also communicated through the message system. I am so grateful. Thank you.
She is a sweetheart. She listens and makes you realize a lot.
Alaine Is exactly what I needed she is amazing !! listens gives great ideas and strategies . We also laugh together!
This was helpful. Thanks
I appreciate that Alaine is very open to a variety of experience, and presses me to think through things that I hadn’t considered before. It’s nice that she has lived in Alaska as an lgbtqia person, and understands some of the unique culture issues here.
Alaine listens and responds in a way that makes me feel seen and heard. She is great and would recommend her to a friend, if I could.
Great listener, funny and understanding! Not judgemental and gives a variety of approaches to one's problems.
Alaine is so supportive, kind, and extremely knowledgeable! Her expertise and resources are very helpful and I look forward to our sessions each week.

Was the best fit for me and what I am trying to work through. She’s patient and kind and very insightful
Alaine is the best therapist I have ever worked with. I feel comfortable speaking my truth and she is always so supportive and understanding. She never fails to provide me with resources, advice, and most of all, Alaine is a wonderful support system. This has been one of the hardest years of my life and Alaine has helped me navigate it and better my mental health in so many ways. I could not have grown and changed so much without her help. I am so thankful for her and everything she has done for me! I highly recommend Alaine as a counselor.
Insightful, focused, and responsive to my conscious and unconscious statements. She knows how to peel away layers, that I ignore easily!
Alaine really listens and shows up for you! She is clear-sighted in problems that need to be dealt with and offers direct and pertinent information. Every session has come with huge takeaways!
We are just getting to know each other but she was very supportive I feel in time she can help me
I love working with Alaine. I always feel I am being heard. She gives great advice and suggestions. And is really helping me set and reach goals for myself.
Alaine is amazing and extremely empathetic. It really feels like she cares about helping me with my issues and I greatly appreciate her expertise
