About Alina
Alina Ghitea is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on helping people navigate relationship strain and personal stress. She blends practical skills with a calm, hopeful approach so people can find clearer ways forward.
Background and approach
Alina works with adults on issues like anxiety, depression, intimacy concerns, and life changes. Her sessions are grounded in methods that emphasize connection and everyday coping.
She uses Gottman Method ideas alongside attachment-based and client-centered work to address communication, trust, and emotional safety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are added when anxious thoughts or unhelpful behaviors get in the way.
Alina draws on six years of clinical experience across varied concerns. She has supported people facing grief, trauma and abuse, parenting strains, career transitions, and mood disorders including bipolar and panic.
She also helps with codependency, multicultural issues, immigration-related stress, and challenges tied to adoption or foster care. In session she aims to be a steady, reflective presence.
Conversations focus on what is happening now and what concrete steps feel doable. She helps clients practice communication skills, manage overwhelming feelings, and build routines that reduce stress.
Work is collaborative and goal-oriented. Alina will listen first, then suggest tools that fit each person’s life.
Sessions may include short skill-building exercises, discussion of patterns, and planning for change. She offers services in English and practices as an FL LMFT in Florida.
Online and phone formats are part of her practice to help people fit therapy into busy schedules.
Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life
Alina uses Gottman Method ideas to focus on communication and managing conflict in relationships, helping people learn practical habits for better interactions. Attachment-Based Therapy is another focus and it looks at how early connections shape current relationships and emotional responses, which can help with intimacy and trust issues.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where a person’s goals guide the work. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process; she collaborates with each client to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than using one fixed plan.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make sessions more accessible. Video lets people see body language and practice conversations, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats give flexibility to fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
