About Alina

Alina Ghitea is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who draws on several evidence-informed methods to help people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy challenges, and ADHD-related struggles.

Background and approach

With six years of clinical experience, she brings a warm, collaborative approach that blends cognitive tools with emotion-focused perspectives to address mood issues, trauma, grief, self-esteem concerns, and life transitions. She frames difficulties within the context of relationships and everyday roles, attending to family dynamics, communication patterns, and cultural influences when relevant.

Alina uses client-centered listening alongside structured techniques to build coping skills for panic, depression, and career or parenting stressors. Her practice also includes work on complex topics such as adoption and foster care, multicultural concerns, codependency, and compassion fatigue.

Clients can expect a reflective therapeutic stance aimed at clarifying goals, reducing distress, and strengthening emotional and relational functioning.

Therapeutic approaches for online care and emotional change

Attachment-Based Therapy helps explore how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and expectations in close connections. It can be useful for people wanting to understand intimacy challenges, family of origin issues, and how attachment dynamics influence reactions to stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skills training, which often helps with anxiety, panic, mood disorders, and coping with life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and reshaping emotional experience within relationships to promote healing and improved communication, often applied to relationship struggles and intimacy-related concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and may integrate methods over time to find what fits best for the presenting concerns. This helps tailor work for issues such as depression, ADHD-related challenges, grief, or family problems.

Online therapy with this practitioner uses flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, parenting, or geographic constraints while maintaining consistent access to care. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, skill-building, and emotion-focused interventions to these virtual formats to support ongoing progress.
