About Alina
Alina Ghitea is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who uses relationship-focused and evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, and mood concerns. She brings six years of clinical experience and a calm, collaborative manner to sessions. Her work centers on addressing relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, and the emotional fallout of trauma and loss.
Alina combines attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioral techniques and emotion-focused work. She helps people notice patterns in close relationships and then learn new ways to respond.
How Alina works
Sessions often include practical skill-building for anxiety, mood regulation, and communication challenges. She also supports those facing identity and cultural stresses, immigration-related concerns, and the complexities of adoption and foster care. Alina pays attention to family of origin dynamics, codependency, and issues around guilt or forgiveness as they show up in relationships and daily life.
People may come for help with panic attacks, social anxiety, low self-esteem, or career and life transitions. She offers strategies for coping with grief, compassion fatigue, and the ups and downs of bipolar and other mood disorders. Her style is warm, direct, and focused on what helps in day-to-day life.
Sessions are offered in English and take place with people in Florida. Alina provides therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and works with each person to set goals and next steps.

Online support options
Attachment and skills-based therapy online
Alina uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand how past and present relationships shape feelings and reactions. That work looks at patterns of closeness and distance, and helps people try different ways of relating to reduce conflict and increase connection.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, mood shifts, and practical coping during life changes. Emotion-focused elements help people process grief, trauma, and strong emotions so they feel less overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress happens.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction and full conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when being on camera is not ideal. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter check-ins and ongoing contact between longer sessions. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into busy lives.
