About Alina
Alina Ghitea is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida. She brings six years of experience helping people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and relationship strain. Alina aims to create a warm, straightforward space where clients can talk through painful feelings and make practical changes.
She focuses on day-to-day coping skills and clearer communication. Sessions often look at patterns in relationships and the emotions that drive them. Alina uses tools from cognitive-behavioral approaches to change unhelpful thoughts and from emotionally focused work to strengthen connection and understanding.
Background and approach
Clients who turn to her for anger concerns get direct skills for recognizing triggers and for calming down before reactions escalate. For anxiety and depression she uses step-by-step strategies that break worries into manageable parts. When relationships feel stuck she helps people name the patterns and practice new ways of relating.
Alina also supports those dealing with grief, trauma and life changes, including career shifts, adoption and immigration related stress. She pays attention to family of origin issues and communication problems that often underlie ongoing conflict. Her style is calm and goal-oriented, with room to reflect on deeper meaning when that matters to the client.
Sessions are offered in English and use a collaborative, client-centered stance. Alina combines practical skills with emotion-focused conversations so clients leave with clearer plans and tools to try between sessions.

Therapeutic approaches to use online and in session
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they reconnect or pull away in close relationships and learn gentler ways to reach out. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. CBT is useful for anxiety, anger, panic, and mood challenges when people want clear steps to change responses and feel more in control.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and the problems that matter most. Together they choose whether to focus on emotion processing, thought habits, or building connection and then adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different needs. Video is suited to deeper work and real-time emotional connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, or tracking progress between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and different schedules.
