Alina Ghitea

Alina Ghitea is an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) who brings six years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, career concerns, and other common life struggles. Her tone in sessions is warm and hopeful, and she aims to be a reflective presence during times of change.

Alina frames problems in the context of relationships at home, at work, and in the community. She uses approaches that help people name emotions, notice patterns, and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions are practical and focused on steps people can try between meetings.

She often combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with emotion-focused and attachment-informed ideas. That means she helps people learn skills to manage distress, while also paying attention to how past and present relationships shape feelings and reactions. Conversations tend to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

Alina has worked with concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, ADHD, mood disorders, and career transitions. She also addresses issues like codependency, communication problems, multicultural stress, and immigration-related worries. The aim is to help people build clearer goals and more useful ways of coping.

People who choose her often want a therapist who listens closely and helps them try small, doable changes. She supports practical problem solving while exploring the emotional side of difficulty. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on the therapist’s calendar.

How her approaches translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions using this lens focus on patterns in relationships and how to build more secure connections. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and career-related stress because it gives concrete tools to test and change routines. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on emotions and interaction patterns that affect relationships and intimacy; it helps people notice and name emotion-driven moves and try different responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Clients and the therapist review what’s working and adjust strategies as therapy proceeds.

The original profile did not list specific session formats, so confirm which session types are offered before booking. That said, online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel, making it easier to schedule around work, and allowing shorter check-ins when a quick touchpoint is helpful. It also lets people join from different locations within the same region, which can make ongoing care easier to maintain.
