About Alina Turpin

Alina Turpin is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 11 years of clinical experience who combines personal insight and professional training to help people clarify their emotions and build on existing strengths. She supports clients by asking thoughtful questions, offering empathic feedback, and guiding the gradual release of emotional resistance so individuals can move toward greater internal clarity and healthier connections with others.

Her clinical work focuses on individuals and couples who identify as highly sensitive, intuitive, or empathic. She frequently works with people who identify as BIPOC, NBPOC, or allies to POC, as well as clients who identify as LGBTQIA+, non-monogamous, non-heteronormative, or non-binary. Alina centers inclusivity and the respectful integration of parts of the self that may be marginalized by dominant social norms, creating space for shadow integration and consensual exploration of alternative identities and practices.

Alina specializes in sexual abuse trauma, relational trauma, spiritual emergency trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, anger, grief, shame, guilt, infidelity, codependency, childhood abuse, and prior domestic abuse including verbal, emotional, and physical harm. She brings straightforward clinical insight delivered with warmth, empathy, and unconditional positive regard, aiming to help clients deepen their self-knowledge and strengthen their intuitive language to improve intimacy with themselves and with others.

Many people wonder whether working with a therapist remotely can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy can offer outcomes comparable to traditional in-person sessions.

One major advantage is flexibility. Clients can connect with therapists in the way that best fits their routines and comfort level - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which helps make therapy more accessible alongside work, family, and other commitments.

Licensed professionals provide care in these formats, and clients may switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For people weighing options, remote therapy can be a convenient and effective route to addressing everyday concerns and strengthening coping strategies.
