About Lina

Lina Navar, LPC, is a Texas-based Licensed Professional Counselor with 16 years of clinical experience who offers inclusive, trauma-attuned care. She centers diversity and accessibility in her practice and currently works exclusively with Texas residents who are new to the the platform therapy platform. Lina identifies as an ally across multiple communities including LGBTQIA2S+, BIPOC, neurodivergent, disability, and cancer survivorship communities and supports racial healing, transformative justice, and social change.

Rather than approaching therapy as a process of fixing something that is broken, she frames the work as empowering people to uncover their own answers and to facilitate self-healing. Her practice emphasizes freedom of expression, respect for individuality, and choice. Drawing on somatic counseling psychology, body psychotherapy, and dance movement therapy, she integrates embodiment practices such as kundalini yoga, mindfulness, meditation, qi gong, ancestral healing, and conscious movement to support mind-body integration.

For trauma work she commonly uses Somatic Experiencing, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and Imagery Therapy, and she describes her style as relational, intuitive, and creative while also offering straightforward guidance. Areas of focus include emotion regulation, anxiety and depression, PTSD and trauma-related symptoms, LGBTQIA2S+ related concerns, racial and ancestral identity healing, self-esteem and self-compassion, codependency, coping with life transitions, grief and end-of-life issues, first responder stress, immigration and multicultural concerns, and cancer survivorship. Lina’s goal is to help people reclaim wholeness and live with greater purpose by integrating body, mind, heart, and spirit. LPC indicates Licensed Professional Counselor, a credential demonstrating formal training and licensure to provide counseling services.

Somatic and Imagery-Based Approaches for Remote Care

Somatic Experiencing helps people notice and release held tension in the body that can sustain traumatic symptoms. This approach focuses on gently tracking sensations and restoring the nervous system's capacity for regulation, which can reduce anxiety, panic, and trauma-related reactivity. Accelerated Resolution Therapy, or ART, uses guided imagery and eye movement processes to help reprocess distressing memories and create new, less distressing mental images - it is often used for specific trauma memories and intrusive images. Imagery Therapy uses intentional mental imagery to access emotions and resources, supporting changes in how memories and beliefs are held and experienced.



Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative work Lina offers. She will partner with each person to assess needs, goals, and personal preferences, and together they will determine which techniques feel like the best fit for the client's healing and growth.



Online therapy with Lina is available by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to maintain consistency in care during life transitions, manage symptoms from home, and integrate practices between sessions with the support of licensed professionals and therapists.
