About Lina
Lina Navar uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide people through trauma, identity concerns, and life changes. She holds a Licensed Professional Counselor credential (LPC) and has 16 years of clinical experience working in Texas. Lina speaks English and Spanish and brings a compassionate, person-centered style to sessions.
Lina frames healing as a whole-person process that links body, mind, heart, and spirit. She encourages clients to reclaim their strengths and discover their own answers rather than presenting herself as someone who will fix them.
How Lina works
Sessions often include practical tools for coping with anxiety, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. Her work emphasizes trauma recovery and support for LGBT concerns, sexual assault and abuse, and multicultural issues. Lina also addresses mood disorders, dissociation, and stress related to immigration, first responder roles, hospice and end-of-life situations, and cancer survivorship.
She aims to help people manage emotion regulation, PTSD symptoms, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination. Therapy can include short-term focused work for trauma or longer-term coaching on life purpose and self-love. Lina blends movement and body-oriented practices with breath, mindfulness, and guided imagery to help clients notice bodily responses and build coping skills.
She encourages small, practical steps to regain a sense of agency and wellbeing. To begin, prospective clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions based on therapist availability. Lina practices only with clients located in Texas and does not accept international clients.

Therapeutic techniques for online healing and growth
Her practice draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on the body and on trauma resolution. Somatic-based work helps people notice physical sensations tied to stress and trauma and learn simple exercises to regulate emotions and reduce anxiety. Imagery-based methods use guided visualization to process upsetting memories and to rehearse calmer responses to triggers.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, then try techniques that match those needs. Adjustments are expected; together the therapist and client track what works and refine the plan over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make therapy more flexible. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and movement awareness. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts between sessions and fit support into busy days. These options help people keep continuity of care and fit therapy into real life.
