About Mai
Mai Huong Nguyen is a licensed clinical social worker with 19 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship pain, and life transitions. She offers a calm, respectful presence and listens so people feel seen and understood before making a plan together. She blends a client-centered stance with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness.
Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful beliefs and habits, then testing small changes that make daily life easier.
Background and approach
For relationship concerns she brings coaching skills to talk through communication, boundaries, and recovery after breakups. Trauma and abuse, as well as lingering effects of past separations, are part of her work. She uses approaches that allow people to process painful memories and reduce their hold on daily functioning.
Sleep problems, addictions, anger, and compassion fatigue are addressed with strategies tailored to each person’s situation. Her background includes long-term practice supporting mood disorders, bipolar challenges, ADHD, multicultural concerns, and veterans’ issues. She pays attention to how family of origin, aging, chronic illness, and grief shape the stories people tell about themselves.
Clients who need help with life purpose, career decisions, or midlife shifts will find concrete options to try. All sessions are provided in English. Mai Huong practices from Maine and offers remote formats that fit different schedules and needs.
She encourages a collaborative process to find what works for each person.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy centers the conversation on the person’s goals and lived experience. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s pace, helping people make sense of feelings and decide what matters most to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete exercises to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, helps people process distressing memories so those memories lose intensity and interrupt daily life less often.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest next steps. That decision is collaborative and can change over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and exercises that benefit from seeing facial cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and text messaging allow for brief reflections, ongoing coaching-style support, and flexibility across different schedules.
