About Alina
Alina Ghitea is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships and intimacy-related concerns among other issues. Her focus also includes codependency, self-esteem, depression, grief, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes.
She uses relationship-focused approaches to understand how patterns in close relationships affect daily life. Sessions look at how attachment patterns and communication habits contribute to repeated problems. Cognitive-behavioral tools are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments to change them.
Emotion-focused and dialectical methods are part of her work when emotions feel overwhelming or get in the way of connecting with others. That can mean learning ways to notice intense feelings, sit with them briefly, and then choose how to respond. Conversations also target practical skills like boundary-setting and clearer communication so clients can act differently in stressful moments.
Alina pays attention to backgrounds such as adoption, immigration, and family of origin issues when those stories shape current struggles. She also supports people navigating parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and career transitions. Her practice includes attention to mood disorders, ADHD, panic, and social anxiety when these come up alongside relationship concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and are provided from her Florida practice. She asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin the process.
How sessions work
How attachment, CBT and emotion-focused work translate online
Attachment-based therapy looks at recurring patterns in important relationships and how those patterns shape reactions. Online sessions can be a place to notice these patterns as they show up in conversations and to try different ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In an online session this often becomes short experiments to try between meetings and quick check-ins on what changed. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and stay with strong feelings so those feelings can be understood rather than avoided. That process works in conversation and through focused exercises over several sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean shifting between approaches as progress and obstacles become clearer.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins when time is tight, or avoid travel. It also supports practicing skills in everyday settings and reviewing how new ways of relating play out between appointments.
