About Alaine
Alaine Lagasse is a Licensed Professional Counselor, holding LPC and LPCC credentials, with twelve years of counseling experience. She practices in Minnesota and has worked with people facing trauma, addiction, depression, and anxiety. Alaine aims to offer clear, direct guidance while treating people with respect and compassion.
Before independent practice she worked as a readjustment counselor helping military veterans transition to civilian life. That work included support for combat and sexual trauma, relationship strain, substance use concerns, and job-related stress. She later provided therapy as an independent contractor on an online counseling platform, continuing to work with people affected by physical and emotional trauma.
Alaine uses a mix of approaches such as cognitive behavioral methods, mindfulness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Sessions are shaped to fit each person’s needs, with practical steps and open conversation. She emphasizes honesty and facing fears while maintaining a supportive tone.
People come to her for help with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, sleep problems, self esteem struggles, and life transitions. She also addresses issues like caregiver stress, blended family concerns, communication problems, and isolation. The goal in sessions is to find workable strategies that fit daily life.
Alaine welcomes people who identify as Straight, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, or Questioning. She encourages those ready to make a change to take the next step and begin a collaborative process toward clearer coping and greater well-being.
