About Trina
Trina Hill is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of practice. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. People come to her with concerns like abandonment, attachment wounds, guilt and shame, and trouble with communication.
She favors straightforward conversation. Sessions focus on naming what feels hard and looking at practical steps for managing daily life. She uses cognitive and behavioral techniques alongside acceptance-based ideas to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck.
Attachment-based ideas inform how she talks about relationships and how past bonds shape current feelings. Emotion-focused work is used to help people identify strong emotions and sit with them long enough to make choices about how to act. Client-centered principles mean the work moves at the client’s pace and follows their priorities.
Her background includes clinical work with substance use, trauma, and grief. She draws from several approaches to match the moment in session, aiming to be clear about what is being tried and why. Trina encourages small experiments between sessions to see what helps in daily life.
Sessions are presented plainly and practically. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps people build simple skills they can use outside the therapy hour. People interested in starting are asked to follow the site’s booking steps to schedule an initial meeting.
Therapeutic approaches used online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting taken over by them, then commit to small actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for chronic worry, guilt, or when someone feels stuck repeating the same behavior.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. It is practical for anxiety, panic, obsessive thinking, and low mood because it breaks problems into specific thoughts and actions.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence present relationships and emotional reactions. This approach helps when abandonment, attachment wounds, or recurring relationship patterns are part of the problem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust based on what feels most useful. That collaboration is intended to match techniques to the person’s needs and preferences.
