About Trina
Trina Hill is an Illinois licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression, and trauma. She speaks plainly and creates space for honest conversation so people can talk about what feels hard. Her style aims to reduce shame and build practical skills for daily life.
With eight years in a clinical role, she uses a mix of approaches to meet people where they are. Trina blends cognitive behavioral ideas with emotionally focused and client-centered work to help clients notice patterns and change them. Attachment-based perspectives inform how she talks about relationships and repeated reactions.
Sessions start with what matters most to the client. She listens for values, goals, and patterns that keep problems in place. Then she helps set small steps that are realistic to do between sessions and that fit the client’s routine.
Her work often focuses on relationship wounds, abandonment, and attachment concerns alongside practical challenges like money and financial issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness, or life transitions. Trina also supports people facing obsessive thoughts, panic, or post-traumatic stress.
She emphasizes collaboration and steady progress rather than quick fixes. People can expect straightforward conversation, gentle challenge when needed, and tools to practice outside of sessions. Trina encourages anyone who feels stuck to take the next step and explore whether therapy might help.
How therapy approaches guide online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, even when feelings are uncomfortable. It’s often used for anxiety, stress, and problems that involve avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new behaviors, which can help with depression, panic, and obsessive thinking. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people form different ways of relating to others and to themselves.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will help clients choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are adjusted as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and let people use quieter surroundings or shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can guide clients through exercises, track small homework steps, and help people practice new responses between visits so change can happen over time.
