About Alina
Alina Ghitea is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who brings a warm, hopeful presence to sessions. She focuses on practical change and emotional healing for people facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting strain, and life transitions. Her style is caring and reflective, aiming to help people move through painful moments toward clearer thinking and steadier emotions.
Alina centers therapy on how relationships shape daily life. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also draws on emotion-focused work to name feelings and repair where connections have frayed. These approaches are mixed to match each person’s needs rather than following a single formula.
Clients can expect straightforward conversations and evidence-informed tools. Sessions include practical skills for coping with stress, strategies for managing moods, and ways to improve communication. Alina pays attention to family of origin issues, codependency, adoption and foster care concerns, and multicultural topics when those areas are relevant to a person’s goals.
With six years of clinical experience, she has supported people dealing with trauma, grief, ADHD, panic, and career or life purpose questions. She aims to help people build clearer boundaries, recover from shame and guilt, and take next steps after loss or big changes.
Alina practices in Florida and conducts therapy in English. She works collaboratively to set clear goals and offers a steady, compassionate role while people learn new ways of handling difficult emotions and relationships.
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Alina uses a mix of approaches that focus on both thoughts and emotions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking and learn practical strategies to change behaviors and mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps name and work through strong feelings to improve emotional connection and reduce relationship distress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in early relationships and how they show up now, helping people build steadier ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will talk with you about your goals, try methods that match your needs, and adjust the plan over time so it fits how you respond. This happens through collaborative conversations and ongoing check-ins about progress.
Confirm the exact session options before booking, as session formats are not specified in this profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten commutes, and allow for different session rhythms like shorter check-ins or full therapy sessions. It can also be useful when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are practical considerations. Licensed professionals and therapists can use online meetings to teach coping skills, practice communication, and track mood changes over time.
