About Mai-Trinh
Mai-Trinh Tran is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with five years of experience. She helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Vietnamese.
Trinh has worked part time since 2016 with people facing a range of challenges. That work has included supporting women who survived domestic abuse and human trafficking. She has also supported young adults with sexual behavior concerns, intergenerational issues, and family boundary questions.
Her approach centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered, existential, and mindfulness methods. She focuses on noticing unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors. Sessions emphasize concrete plans and small, practical steps rather than abstract theory.
Trinh frames clients as experts on their own stories and focuses on helping them recognize strengths they already have. She works with people to identify choices and actions that move toward healthier self-image and daily routines. The emphasis is on clear goals and measurable progress.
Common additional topics she addresses include abandonment and attachment issues, caregiver stress, codependency, family of origin problems, guilt and shame, isolation, workplace concerns, and midlife or young adult transitions. Language options and the LPC credential are noted up front to help people decide if she is a match.

How CBT and Related Approaches Work Online
Trinh draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. CBT sessions often include clear goals, thought records, and short experiments to test new responses to stressful situations. Client-centered work focuses on listening, reflecting what matters to the person, and helping them identify their own priorities. Existential ideas are used to talk about meaning, responsibility, and choices when life feels confusing or stuck.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Trinh will discuss options and collaborate on what fits a client's goals and preferences. That means agreeing on which methods to try and checking in about progress as therapy continues.
Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a weekday schedule, shorten commute time, and let people use a quiet space or a break at work. Some formats are also useful when video bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers a shorter check-in. Ask about the specific session formats offered when scheduling so arrangements match daily routines.
