Alaina Glover, LPC

Alaina Glover is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Louisiana with 16 years of professional experience. She supports people navigating depression, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as grief, relationship and family challenges, parenting difficulties, addictions, compassion fatigue, and struggles with self-esteem. Alaina emphasizes that each person knows their own story best and that existing strengths and resources can be enlisted to address what feels most difficult.

Her approach centers on meeting clients where they are, validating the courage it takes to begin therapy, and collaborating to set goals and next steps. Alaina combines practical skill-building with deeper processing work, drawing on methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and EMDR as appropriate to each person’s needs. As a licensed counselor she aims to create a supportive, goal-oriented partnership that helps clients build coping strategies, increase self-understanding, and move toward meaningful change. She acknowledges the bravery of the first step and affirms clients for getting started.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Alaina frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is practical and skill-focused, often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problem-solving in daily life.

She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT tools can be especially helpful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship patterns.

For clients processing traumatic memories, Alaina may incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which helps reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories through structured processing techniques. Licensed professionals have adapted EMDR for remote delivery in ways that retain core elements of the approach.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Alaina collaborates with each person to choose and adjust methods based on the client’s goals, preferences, and experiences, combining approaches when that best serves recovery and growth.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to fit therapy into busy schedules, attend from home or other comfortable settings, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are not possible.
