About Trina

Trina Hill is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Illinois who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression.

Background and approach

She brings eight years of professional clinical experience to her practice and centers work on creating an open, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore difficult thoughts and feelings. Trina emphasizes collaboration and practical strategies that fit each person's life and values.

Her approach blends evidence-informed techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). Trina draws on these methods to address related issues such as attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication difficulties, obsessive-compulsive patterns, panic, and post-traumatic stress.

She also supports people facing life transitions like divorce, midlife shifts, financial stress, and struggles with guilt or shame. Clients who seek a direct yet compassionate clinician will find a practitioner who aims to empower self-understanding, teach coping skills, and tailor interventions to each person’s goals and circumstances.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and OCD-related patterns and helps clients develop concrete skills for day-to-day challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify values, accept difficult internal experiences, and commit to meaningful action, which can be useful for stress, chronic pain, and persistent worry. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns and emotional bonds to improve how people relate to themselves and others, often helping with issues rooted in trust, abandonment, or relationship distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work, and Trina aims to collaborate with each client to determine which combination of methods fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions over time and invites client input to shape the path forward.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and lets clients access care from familiar settings. These formats support ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and easier attendance for people balancing work, caregiving, or health concerns.
