About Aline
Aline De Sa Rodrigues de Oliveira is an ACA counsellor with three years' clinical experience in Australia. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and completed postgraduate training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Schema Therapy in Brazil. She offers individual psychotherapy for adults and works in both English and Portuguese.
Aline focuses on common concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, grief and relationship strain. She also addresses family-related issues and problems linked to attachment, abandonment and emotional dependence. Many people seek her help for communication difficulties, family of origin issues and the emotional effects of separation or divorce.
Her approach draws on evidence-based techniques, especially Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Schema Therapy. Sessions typically involve talking through current difficulties, learning practical strategies to manage mood and anxiety, and noticing patterns that keep problems going. She pays attention to how early relationships affect present feelings and behaviour.
She has experience supporting people who have moved countries and are adapting to life far from home. That experience informs her work with cultural adjustment, fatherhood concerns, fertility issues and other family stresses. She can work with Portuguese-speaking clients when preferred.
Aline describes the therapeutic relationship as a place to be heard and respected while you work on specific goals. If you are navigating family conflict, grief, or ongoing anxiety, she offers focused, evidence-based sessions to help you make practical changes.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Aline commonly works with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Schema Therapy. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and replacing them with more effective ones; it is often used for anxiety, depression and stress. Schema Therapy looks at long-standing patterns that began in early relationships and helps people notice and change those deep-rooted ways of reacting.Working out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences and how problems show up in daily life, then choose techniques together. That collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy around family and work commitments and reducing travel time. Please confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to keep appointments during busy weeks and allow focused check-ins when time is limited.
