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 stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, parenting struggles, trauma and grief. She also addresses career shifts, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and issues tied to immigration and multicultural stressors.
Alina focuses on how relationships shape feelings and behavior. She uses conversation and practical tools to help people notice patterns that fuel anger, resentment, or withdrawal. Sessions are straightforward and aim to clarify what is happening now and what a person wants to change.
Her approach blends Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centered methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). That mix is used to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep someone stuck and to practice different ways of responding to strong emotions.
In practice she helps people build better emotion regulation, improve communication, and repair strained connections. That may include learning grounding skills, trying new conversation strategies, or testing different reactions to triggers. Work can also focus on grief, shame, or cultural and adoption-related issues that affect relationships.
People who come for anger-related concerns often leave with clearer steps to manage bursts of frustration and longer-term plans to reduce resentment. The emphasis is on practical skills and clearer patterns rather than quick fixes.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape reactions. It helps people understand why certain interactions trigger strong anger or withdrawal and supports rebuilding more secure ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It’s useful for spotting unhelpful thinking patterns that escalate frustration and for practicing alternative responses.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist and client work together to pick methods that match the client’s goals, situation, and comfort. That collaboration can shift as needs change, so early sessions often focus on deciding which tools to use first.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, since they are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or choosing a session that does not require being on camera. It also lets people try skills in between meetings and bring those experiences back to the conversation. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to the online setting so clients practice new ways of handling anger and improve communication in daily life.
