Alaina Mount, LPC

Alaina Mount is an LPC licensed in Texas with 11 years of counseling experience. She helps people who are stressed, anxious, dealing with depression, or managing life transitions. She also supports those facing relationship struggles, grief, parenting strain, workplace burnout, and issues around self-esteem and identity.

Alaina favors a straightforward, empathetic style. Sessions combine listening with clear feedback and practical steps people can try between meetings. She aims to make clients feel heard while also offering tools to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Her work often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses attachment-based and client-centered approaches to strengthen relationships and personal insight. Dialectical behavior therapy skills and emotion-focused ideas are available when clients need emotion regulation and deeper processing.

Alaina’s background includes private practice and experience in inpatient treatment settings. That mix gives her familiarity with both short-term crisis care and longer-term work. She uses that experience to tailor sessions to each person’s pace and goals.

People who choose her tend to want practical strategies plus a steady, nonjudgmental presence. Alaina offers guidance, education, and coaching to help clients make changes and handle setbacks. Her approach is collaborative and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on usable skills and clearer communication.

For those looking to start, she guides people through a brief matching process and scheduling so work can begin at a manageable pace.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Alaina commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks big problems into small, practical steps. She also draws on attachment-based work to look at how past relationships shape current patterns and to improve connection and trust in important relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then adapt techniques accordingly. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that fits the client’s life and needs rather than following a single method by default.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make therapy more flexible. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for focused check-ins, and text messaging allows brief updates or coaching between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and travel schedules while keeping continuity of care.
