About Alaina

Alaina Mount is an LPC based in Texas with 11 years of counseling experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, depression, grief, parenting challenges, career questions, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems, domestic violence, and caregiver stress. Alaina favors an adaptive, client-centered stance that blends empathy with frank, practical guidance.

She emphasizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while drawing on attachment-based, emotion-focused, and skills-oriented methods to match each person’s needs. Her approach is collaborative: she helps clients identify goals, learn new coping strategies, and practice changes between sessions.

With experience in both independent practice and inpatient settings, she aims to create a trustworthy space where difficult topics can be explored without judgment. Clients seeking either individual or couples work can expect a balance of understanding and direct feedback designed to promote clearer communication, healthier coping, and sustained progress toward personal goals.

Therapeutic Approaches Applied to Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and learn practical skills to change patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties; it often involves practice of new strategies between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and closeness, which can be useful for people working on trust, communication, and intimacy concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps partners and individuals explore underlying emotions to create more supported, connected relationships and improved conflict patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to clarify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust techniques as work progresses so treatment reflects personal preferences and changing circumstances.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging makes therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life. These formats allow regular contact for skill-building, timely check-ins, and continued momentum between in-person options, which can help maintain consistency and accessibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments.
