About Alina
Alina Ghitea is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with six years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life transitions among other issues.
She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape current problems. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotionally-Focused approaches to help people understand patterns of thinking and feeling. Sessions often include talking through relationship dynamics, identifying unhelpful thought patterns, and practicing new ways to respond.
Alina has supported clients dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, parenting questions, and complicated family histories. She also helps with career-related stress, feelings of isolation or loneliness, and challenges linked to adoption or immigration. She works with mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and with anxiety presentations including panic and social anxiety.
Her style is direct and collaborative. She focuses on what people want to change and on small, practical steps they can try between sessions. Conversations can cover communication skills, boundaries, managing intense emotions, and problem-solving for daily life demands.
People often bring issues like low self-esteem, guilt and shame, codependency, or compassion fatigue. Alina also addresses concerns around fatherhood issues, family of origin dynamics, and the strain of balancing work and family. She provides therapy in English and sees clients in Florida.
How Alina uses therapy approaches online
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships influence present feelings and patterns. It helps when connection, trust, or repeated relationship cycles are causing distress and when someone wants clearer, steadier interactions with partners or close people.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, panic, and for handling overwhelming thinking that affects study, work, or relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then suggest which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as needs shift.
If you are considering online work, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around classes, work shifts, or caregiving. They can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and let someone avoid travel time so sessions fit more consistently into a week.
