About Lina
Lina Navar uses a body-centered, holistic approach to therapy that blends practical tools with creative practices. She focuses on trauma, LGBTQ concerns, self-esteem, and life transitions. Lina is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas and offers services in English and Spanish.
Lina emphasizes that people are not broken and already hold answers inside themselves. She works in a way that combines movement, breath, and awareness with talk-based exploration.
Background and approach
Sessions may include mindfulness, gentle movement, and guided imagery alongside conversations about goals and coping skills. Her work pays close attention to trauma and its effects on the body. Lina uses somatic methods and imagery to help people release stuck energy and learn emotion regulation strategies.
She also addresses mood concerns such as anxiety and depression, and helps people build tools for day-to-day coping. Lina brings 16 years of experience and a broad focus that includes multicultural and racial identity concerns, immigration-related stress, first responder issues, hospice and end-of-life topics, and coping with cancer.
She also supports people facing discrimination, seasonal mood shifts, dissociation, and aftermaths of sexual assault or abuse. Clients can expect a direct but compassionate style that invites curiosity and personal responsibility. Lina places value on freedom of expression, cultural affirmation, and honoring individual differences.
Her aim is to help people reconnect with their strengths and move toward clearer purpose and self-compassion.
How somatic and imagery work online
Many of the techniques Lina uses bring attention to the body and to images that arise during sessions. Somatic approaches focus on bodily sensations and gentle movement to help release stored tension and improve emotion regulation; they can be helpful for trauma, anxiety, and stress. Imagery-based techniques guide people to use mental images and memory reconsolidation to reduce distress and rehearse calmer responses, which can assist with post-traumatic stress and intrusive memories.Picking the right methods is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, comfort with different practices, and practical needs, then try approaches that fit. Clients and the therapist check in regularly and adapt the plan based on what is helpful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility. Video lets people work with movement and observe nonverbal cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging support shorter check-ins, reflection between sessions, and ongoing coaching-style contact. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to access help from Texas without travel.
