About Alina
Alina Ghitea is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Florida. She focuses on practical strategies that help people manage stress, anxiety, ADHD symptoms, depression, and relationship struggles. Her style is warm and straightforward, with short-term tools and longer-term skills depending on what a person needs.
Alina draws from approaches that look at how feelings, thoughts, and relationships connect. She uses cognitive techniques to shift unhelpful thinking and emotion-focused work to name and process strong feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and goal oriented so people leave with clear next steps. She also pays attention to how past relationships influence current patterns. Attachment-based ideas help identify repeated dynamics that cause conflict or distance.
That can be useful for intimacy problems, communication breakdowns, or recurring anger and shame. With six years of experience as an LMFT, Alina works with people facing life transitions, grief, career stress, and trauma-related concerns. She supports those adjusting after adoption or immigration challenges and those coping with compassion fatigue or mood instability.
Alina offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. She aims to match therapy to daily life, so therapy fits around work, parenting, and busy schedules rather than adding strain.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. Online sessions can help identify repeating dynamics and build new ways of relating to partners or close people. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It translates well to remote sessions through structured exercises and homework that people can do between meetings.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's goals, symptoms, and daily routine. Together they decide whether to focus on emotion processing, thought work, or both, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and role practice, phone calls are lower bandwidth, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports quick reflections or reminders. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or school schedules while keeping continuity between sessions.
