About Alina
Alina Ghitea is an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) practicing in Florida with six years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues tied to family of origin. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day relationships.
She uses a mix of approaches to address emotional patterns that repeat from childhood into adult life. In session she helps people notice how early family roles, expectations, and communication habits still influence choices now. Conversations look at feelings, behaviors, and interactions with others so clients can try different ways of responding.
Alina draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how closeness and distance developed in early relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Emotion-focused elements help name and work with strong feelings that come up around family matters and grief.
Typical concerns she helps with include parenting stresses, codependency, communication problems, fatherhood issues, adoption and foster care questions, and multicultural or immigration-related strain. She also addresses mood concerns such as bipolar disorder, panic, and social anxiety, alongside life changes like career transitions and grief.
Her way of working is collaborative and straightforward. Sessions aim to clarify patterns, teach practical skills, and try changes between meetings. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site's process to schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-based ideas focus on patterns of closeness and distance that began in early relationships. In practice this means noticing how people seek connection or pull away and working on safer ways to ask for needs and set boundaries. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, panic, low mood, and social fears. Emotion-focused work supports naming and processing strong feelings that show up in family discussions, grief, or relationship conflict.Finding the best approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which ideas to try first, based on the client's goals, preferences, and what comes up in early sessions. That plan can shift as progress is made and new concerns appear.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it easier to continue consistent work while managing parenting duties, work breaks, or relocation. Ask about current session formats when you schedule so you know how sessions will fit your routine.
