More about Alaina

  • 3 years' experience
  • Female
  • LCSW

I truly believe that everyone deserves to have hope and healing in their life. I will travel with you through the dark and help you find the light and hope you're looking for. You can expect a judgement-free and safe space to talk about anything you wish. I want every client to feel accepted for who they are and feel comfortable being vulnerable. I strive to meet each client with support, respect, and sensitivity.

I'm passionate about and experienced with depression, anxiety, trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, boundary issues, LDS issues, and more. I work with clients to get to the root of the issue, creating real change and moving forward. We will work together to process and connect your experiences, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Each therapy session is catered to what you need. We're a team. I know it takes courage and vulnerability to start therapy, and I honor that.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
