Background and approach
Lina draws on approaches like attachment work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help shift behaviors and thoughts that get in the way. Trauma work and emotional regulation are a core part of her practice. For those carrying painful memories or intense emotions, she blends trauma-focused methods with skills training so people can reduce distress and increase safety in their day-to-day routines.
She also supports people dealing with grief, addiction, or changes in career and relationships. Lina brings a warm, accepting presence to sessions. She listens closely and helps clients set realistic, step-by-step goals.
Her manner is both compassionate and direct, offering gentle challenges alongside practical tools. Clients meet with her from California and sessions are offered in English. Communication options include video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Lina guides each person toward an approach that fits their needs and pace.
How Lina Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. Online sessions can help people notice patterns in close relationships and practice new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going and offers simple steps to change them, which works well for anxiety, sleep, and daily stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Lina will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most useful based on goals and preferences. That collaborative process means trying practical tools first and shifting course if something isn’t helpful.
Offering therapy by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video allows face-to-face conversations and exercises, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a short check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility so people can keep momentum and use tools in real time.
