Lina Navar , LPC

Lina Navar is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who focuses on trauma, self-esteem, and LGBTQ concerns. She centers a body-aware, creative approach and encourages people to reconnect with their own strengths. Lina presents a calm, straightforward style that aims to help people move from feeling stuck toward clearer purpose and self-compassion.

She draws on 16 years of clinical work and blends somatic ideas, movement, breath, and imagination to address emotional pain. Sessions mix talking with body-based practices so clients can notice how feelings show up in the body and learn ways to release them. This method is used with trauma, mood concerns, and struggles with identity and self-worth.

Lina attends to cultural and social stressors, including discrimination, immigration-related strain, and racial identity issues. She also supports people coping with cancer, hospice and end-of-life questions, and the fallout from disasters or first responder work. Her approach includes attention to multicultural concerns and the unique pressures faced by LGBTQ people.

Therapy with Lina may include short-term trauma work aimed at symptom relief and skill building. She helps people develop emotional regulation, coping strategies, and clearer communication skills. Lina emphasizes personal responsibility and practical steps toward change.

Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and are delivered online to residents of Texas. Her work is described as soulful and coaching-informed, with a focus on helping people reclaim a sense of belonging and purpose.

Approaches that combine talk and body-based work online

Lina uses evidence-based techniques alongside somatic and movement-informed practices to help people process trauma and emotional pain. One approach focuses on gentle trauma processing that helps the nervous system release stored tension and reduce symptoms like anxiety and intrusive memories. Another approach uses body-centered awareness and movement to link physical sensations with emotions, which can improve emotional regulation and self-awareness.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to a client's history, goals, and preferences and recommend methods that fit those needs. Over a few sessions the approach can be adjusted so the work feels focused and manageable for the person seeking help.

Online therapy offers flexibility with multiple formats: video calls for fuller face-to-face work, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging for quick check-ins or written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow different ways of expressing thoughts and feelings, and support both longer sessions and brief follow-ups that keep progress moving forward.
