Alaina Glover, LPC

Alaina Glover is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana who helps people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. She works with adults on issues like self-esteem, grief, anger, addiction, and ADHD. Her approach centers on practical steps people can use soon after a session. She recognizes that asking for help takes courage and values each person’s own knowledge about their life.

Alaina combines structured therapy methods with skills training to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills help people manage strong emotions and improve coping. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is also part of her toolkit for addressing traumatic memories when appropriate.

Sessions focus on clear goals and tools that fit the client’s day-to-day life. Alaina emphasizes collaboration - clients set priorities and she offers techniques and feedback. Mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing techniques are used to build present-moment awareness and strengthen commitment to change.

Her 16 years of experience include helping people sort through communication problems, attachment concerns, control and impulsivity issues, and the shame that often follows painful events. She aims to create a calm, focused space where people can practice new skills and try different ways of coping.

Alaina works with adults in Louisiana and conducts therapy in English. She encourages anyone thinking about therapy to take the next step and complete a short matching questionnaire to begin scheduling.

Practical approaches for online care and skills practice

Alaina commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. She also integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness for high-intensity feelings. When trauma is a central issue, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing can be used to work on painful memories and reduce their emotional intensity.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. She works with clients to identify what feels most useful based on their goals, experiences, and preferences. Together they try techniques, evaluate what helps, and adjust the plan so the work connects to everyday life.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and guided exercises. Phone calls can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or a camera-free conversation is easier. Live chat and messaging let clients check in between sessions, share brief updates, or complete shorter coaching-style contacts without scheduling a full session.
