About Trina
Trina Hill is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, or addiction. She writes clearly and listens closely so clients can talk through painful thoughts and emotions. Trina focuses on practical next steps that fit everyday life.
She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can describe what they are facing. Conversations focus on what feels most urgent now and what small changes could ease daily strain.
Background and approach
She uses straightforward tools to reduce intense feelings and build coping skills. Trina blends cognitive-behavioral ideas with acceptance and emotion-focused work. That mix helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, act in line with values, and repair difficult patterns in relationships.
She also draws on attachment ideas to make sense of long-standing relational pain. Her background includes eight years in direct clinical practice as an LCSW in Illinois. This experience informs how she structures sessions and matches techniques to each persons needs.
She aims to keep things clear and practical rather than overloaded with theory. Sessions often include short exercises, gentle reflection, and real-world homework to try between meetings. Trina encourages questions about the process so people feel more in control of their progress.
She helps clients set realistic goals and track small wins along the way.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, committed actions that match those values. It helps people who feel stuck by shifting attention from getting rid of thoughts to building a meaningful life despite them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms through experiments and behavior changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotional experience and connection, helping people name and process strong feelings to reduce overwhelm and improve relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Trina will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasnt helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and exercises, phone can fit quick check-ins or lower bandwidth, chat and messaging work well for short updates and tools between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and keep momentum between meetings.
