About Trina
Trina Hill is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Trina writes clearly about relationship difficulties and related concerns such as attachment and abandonment issues.
She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Trina blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with acceptance-based and attachment-focused ideas. Sessions focus on noticing thoughts and habits, testing different responses, and improving how people communicate and relate to others.
Trina also addresses problems that often come with chronic health or caregiver roles. She helps clients manage chronic pain, illness, or disability-related strain and the stress that caregiving can create. Practical skills for daily life are a common focus.
Clients who bring issues like obsessive thoughts, panic attacks, money worries, or midlife questions will find workable steps to try. She often helps people who feel isolated, guilty, or stuck after a loss or separation. The emphasis is on small, concrete changes that fit into everyday routines.
In sessions Trina listens without judgment and helps people plan next steps. She uses exercises from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside attachment-focused conversation to break unhelpful patterns and build clearer choices.
How CBT, ACT and attachment work for online sessions
Trina uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to test small behavioral changes. CBT helps with anxiety, panic, obsessive thinking, and low mood by focusing on clear, step-by-step practice.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which teaches noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values. ACT is useful when people feel stuck by painful memories or ongoing stress. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationship patterns affect trust and communication and helps people try new ways of relating.
Finding the best approach is part of the process. Trina works collaboratively to pick methods that match a client’s goals and day-to-day life. She will suggest exercises and check-ins that fit what someone wants to change and how quickly they want to move.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time.
