Alina Ghitea , LMFT

Alina Ghitea is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in Florida. She draws on several relational and skills-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Alina aims to make therapy straightforward and usable so clients can take small steps toward feeling better.

Alina spends sessions listening closely and helping people name what matters most. She uses client-centered methods to follow each person's pace and priorities. She also brings in cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping strategies.

In relationships and attachment work she helps people understand how past bonds shape current reactions. Emotion-focused tools are used to uncover feelings underneath conflict and to strengthen emotional connection. Dialectical behavior strategies are added when someone needs concrete skills for regulating strong emotions and managing stress.

Alina has six years of clinical experience working with clients on grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, career transitions, ADHD, and mood-related issues including bipolar disorder. She also addresses multicultural concerns, immigration-related stress, codependency, and challenges tied to adoption or foster care.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. She works with adults on individual and relationship-focused concerns, helping people find clearer ways to cope and communicate.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Relational and skills-based approaches delivered online

Alina uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns and emotional responses. This work helps people identify repeating dynamics and build healthier ways of connecting with partners and loved ones.

She also uses client-centered therapy, which means sessions follow the client's pace and priorities while the therapist provides supportive, nonjudgmental listening. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is added when practical steps are helpful, such as changing unhelpful thoughts and building coping skills for anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjust plans as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and reading body language, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, parenting, and daily life while keeping therapy practical and consistent.
