About Trina

Trina Hill is a licensed clinical social worker who focuses on supporting adults coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression.

Background and approach

She centers care on helping people find clearer ways to manage overwhelming emotions and recurring patterns that interfere with daily life, drawing on a blend of therapeutic tools to match individual needs. Her practice emphasizes collaboration and curiosity, creating space for clients to explore difficult feelings and relational dynamics without judgment.

Trina integrates Internal Family Systems ideas alongside cognitive-behavioral and acceptance-based strategies to help clients notice inner parts, test unhelpful beliefs, and develop practical coping skills. She also uses attachment-informed perspectives to understand how early relationship patterns shape present struggles.

Clients work with Trina to set concrete goals and build sustainable skills for stress reduction, improved emotion regulation, healthier relationships, and navigating life transitions. With eight years as an LCSW in Illinois, she combines clinical training and lived practice to guide people toward greater balance and self-understanding.

Approaches that guide online work and practical benefits

Trina draws from Internal Family Systems to help clients notice and relate to different internal parts rather than being overwhelmed by them; this approach can be useful for understanding conflicting urges, self-criticism, and trauma-related responses. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to encourage values-guided action and present-moment awareness, which helps with anxiety, avoidance, and persistent worry. Attachment-based ideas inform her understanding of relational patterns, offering ways to explore how early bonds shape current trust, closeness, and communication difficulties.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques that fit their preferences, and adapt interventions over time so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Trina is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which supports flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent care from home or work, access sessions during busy weeks, and use brief check-ins or longer conversations depending on what the client needs.
