Alina Ghitea, LMFT

Alina Ghitea is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping people move through stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and trauma and abuse. She uses a warm, hopeful style and aims to be a steady presence when life feels uncertain. Sessions emphasize clear, practical steps and emotional understanding so people can keep functioning while healing.

With six years of clinical experience, Alina blends approaches to match each person's needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for emotion regulation.

Her work covers a wide range of concerns. Common areas include depression, parenting challenges, intimacy and communication problems, grief, anger, and coping with life changes. She also addresses issues such as ADHD, multicultural concerns, adoption and foster care, and immigration-related stress.

Sessions are conversational and focused on practical change. Alina encourages people to notice patterns, try small experiments, and build skills that fit daily life. She aims to help clients repair relationships and find clearer direction without overwhelming them.

Alina practices in Florida as an LMFT. Sessions are offered in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How Alina’s approaches translate to online therapy

Alina commonly uses attachment-based work to look at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior. That approach helps people notice patterns in close connections and try new ways of relating that reduce reactivity and increase trust.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT can be useful for anxiety, panic, mood shifts, and for practical steps that reduce symptoms. Emotion-focused techniques are used to name and process strong feelings and to deepen emotional understanding in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, comfort level, and daily life needs. Together they will adjust pace and focus as issues evolve.

Session formats are not specified in the available information, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can still use exercises, skill practice, and communication work effectively in remote sessions, while tailoring tasks to what works best for each person.
