About Alina
Alina Ghitea is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting stress, trauma and grief, and other life challenges listed in her specialties. Alina also supports clients dealing with career transitions, ADHD, mood disorders, and cultural or immigration-related stressors.
Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) alongside attachment-based and client-centered methods. In sessions she helps people name and track emotions that are hard to put into words. She connects emotional patterns to how people relate to others and to themselves, so issues around communication, codependency, and family of origin can be addressed more directly.
Alina uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) when practical skills are needed. That can include strategies for managing panic, reducing social anxiety, or coping with strong mood swings. She pairs skill work with attention to feelings and relationship patterns rather than focusing on skills alone.
She has worked with people who have experienced adoption and foster care challenges, fatherhood issues, and multicultural concerns. She also helps with forgiveness, guilt and shame, and compassion fatigue that can come from demanding roles.
People who choose her work can expect sessions that explore emotions, attention to attachment patterns, and down-to-earth tools for managing symptoms and relationships. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How EFT and attachment work in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and shifting emotional responses that guide how people relate to others. It helps when feelings are confusing or keep repeating in relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and how those patterns affect current connections and reactions.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental meeting between therapist and client. The therapist listens closely and supports clients in finding their own understanding and next steps rather than prescribing solutions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alina will work with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining EFT with skill-based CBT or DBT techniques to manage panic, mood swings, or anxiety while also addressing relational patterns.
Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats may also work better when video bandwidth is limited or when a brief, phone-style check-in is preferred. Confirm current session options to find the best match for everyday life.
