About Trina
Trina Hill is an Illinois-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma, grief, and depression. She writes in a direct, compassionate way and aims to make starting therapy less overwhelming for someone reaching out. Her tone is encouraging and practical for a worried parent reading on a phone.
Trina emphasizes creating a welcoming space where people can talk about difficult feelings without judgment. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that can ease daily strain.
Background and approach
She listens for patterns in thinking and behavior and works with each person to try out new ways of coping. Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses client-centered listening to help people feel understood.
Attachment-based and emotionally-focused ideas guide work on how past relationships affect current emotions and reactions. Trina has eight years listed experience as an LCSW and practices from an Illinois base. She supports people dealing with complex issues like chronic pain, caregiver stress, isolation, guilt, and life transitions.
Her work includes attention to obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, and post-traumatic reactions. In sessions she offers straightforward tools alongside space to explore feelings. Conversations may include practical coping skills, values-based choices, and slowing down to notice emotions.
The goal is clearer thinking and steadier days, reached together at a comfortable pace.

Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name strong feelings and how those feelings shape behavior. It can be useful for working through painful emotional experiences and for improving how someone responds to stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions based on personal values. It helps when worry or avoidance get in the way of living the life a person wants.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss different methods and try approaches that match a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that can change over time as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and shared visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a shorter break in a day. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to check in between meetings or to use written reflections when that style feels easier.
