About Alina Ghitea
Alina Ghitea is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with six years of clinical experience. She approaches therapy from the view that human lives are shaped by interdependent relationships - within family, community, and work - and she partners with clients to navigate anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and career transitions. Her background as an LMFT means she is trained to address relational patterns alongside individual concerns, helping people explore how connections influence emotions and behavior.
Alina's counseling style is warm and hopeful, grounded in the belief that although life brings pain and uncertainty, people do not have to remain stuck in despair. She treats each person as unique and works collaboratively to identify practical steps forward. Her interventions blend cognitive-behavioral ideas with emotion-focused principles to help clients recognize unhelpful thoughts, access underlying feelings, and develop new ways of relating to themselves and others.
In sessions she creates space for candid reflection and emotional expression, aiming to support emotional and relational healing while helping clients pursue meaningful life goals. Alina focuses on fostering clarity, resilience, and improved communication so clients can better cope with life changes and restore a sense of purpose.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Alina draws from evidence-informed approaches to tailor work to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and mood symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and processing core emotions to improve attachment and relational patterns, which can be especially helpful for intimacy and relationship concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relational experiences shape current attachment styles and supports clients in creating more secure, connected relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Alina works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and challenges. Licensed professionals and therapists often combine techniques to meet changing needs over time, and this therapist will help guide that selection with the client.
Online therapy formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity during life transitions. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, allow sessions from home or other convenient locations, and support ongoing access to therapeutic support between in-person visits when needed.
