Alaina Mount, LPC

Alaina Mount is an LPC with 11 years of counseling experience based in Texas. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, career questions, relationship struggles, and the challenges that come with life changes. She also supports those facing grief, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD concerns, and issues related to identity and LGBT matters.

Alaina takes a straightforward, empathetic approach in sessions. She listens first, then offers direct feedback and practical steps people can try between meetings. Sessions focus on what a person wants to change and on small, achievable goals that build momentum over time.

Her work draws on cognitive behavioral techniques alongside attachment-focused and emotion-centered methods. That mix lets her address thoughts and behaviors while also looking at how patterns in relationships affect current struggles. She uses mindfulness and DBT-style skills when people need tools for intense emotions or better coping strategies.

Alaina's background includes private practice and work in inpatient treatment settings. That variety has shaped how she balances gentle support with clear guidance. She aims to create a trusting space where people can talk about difficult topics without judgment.

People who choose Alaina often want help making concrete changes, improving communication, or navigating transitions in midlife and beyond. To start, she asks about goals and day-to-day challenges so sessions can be tailored to each person's needs.

How her approaches translate to online work

Alaina draws on cognitive behavioral ideas by helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to see what changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and when someone wants step-by-step strategies to break negative cycles.

She also uses attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas to look at how relationship patterns and emotional responses shape daily life. These approaches help when trust, closeness, or communication are central concerns and when people want to change long-standing interaction styles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then recommend techniques to try. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can focus on the work. Licensed professionals can use tools from CBT, DBT, and attachment work in remote sessions to teach skills, process feelings, and practice new ways of relating.
