About

Alaine Lagasse is a licensed professional counselor who practices in both Minnesota and Alaska and brings twelve years of clinical experience to her work. She previously served as a readjustment counselor supporting military veterans through the transition to civilian life, addressing issues related to combat and sexual trauma as well as associated concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship strain, substance use, and career obstacles.

In private practice and as an independent contractor on an online counseling platform, she works with people from diverse backgrounds who have experienced physical or emotional trauma or abuse. Her clinical focus spans stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger management, depression, LGBT concerns, relationship and family conflicts, grief, sleep disturbances, self-esteem difficulties, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, and ADHD.

Her therapeutic manner is interactive and intentionally direct - she values honest conversation and confronting fears while maintaining respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She affirms and honors clients of all sexual orientations and gender identities. Her approach blends cognitive-behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and acceptance and commitment therapy, with treatment plans and session dialogue tailored to each client’s specific needs.

Alaine encourages those ready to pursue a more satisfying and happier life to take the first step toward change; she aims to support and empower clients through that process and looks forward to working with them.
