About Alaina
Alaina Glover is a licensed professional counselor with 16 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, stress, depression, and trauma. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps clients can use between sessions. Her style invites people to notice their strengths and build on them.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make it easier. Alaina uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and replace it with clearer, calmer choices.
Background and approach
She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people stay present when emotions spike. For clients who carry painful memories, she incorporates approaches that address traumatic material in a paced and structured way. Sessions emphasize skill building.
People learn ways to manage panic, reduce compulsive reactions, and handle overwhelming emotions. Conversations focus on what is most practical and useful for daily life. She encourages experimenting with new behaviors and noticing what works.
Alaina has worked across many settings during her 16 years in the field, and she adapts her tools to each person's situation. She helps people with relationship strain, grief, substance concerns, and challenges with self-worth. Her approach respects each person's pace and personal goals.
When someone is ready to start, she helps them set achievable steps and tracks progress together. Her aim is for clients to leave sessions with clear strategies and small, concrete changes they can try between meetings.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Alaina commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in online sessions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It helps with anxiety, panic, and mood concerns by breaking problems into manageable parts. Mindfulness therapy teaches skills to notice thoughts and sensations without reacting immediately, which can reduce rumination and intense emotion.She also uses elements drawn from trauma-focused work to address painful memories in a paced way when needed. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan together to find what feels most helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face when that is helpful, phone calls can be a lower-bandwidth option, live chat works well for quick check-ins, and text messaging allows brief reflections between sessions. These options offer flexibility for fitting therapy into work, caregiving schedules, or busy days while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
