Mai-Han blends narrative and psychodynamic perspectives to understand how past experiences shape current reactions.

Motivational interviewing is part of her toolkit when people need help clarifying goals and finding motivation for change. The result is practical, focused work that links insight to everyday actions. Sessions are offered in English and Vietnamese and are available via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Online support

EMDR, CBT, and motivation work online

Mai-Han uses EMDR to help people process and reduce the hold of painful memories, and she pairs that with cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change thinking and behavior that keep problems going. Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants help clarifying goals and finding the momentum to make changes.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about their needs and goals, try methods that fit, and adjust over time based on what feels most helpful. The aim is to find tools that work in day-to-day life, not just in session.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and working through EMDR guidance. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging let people send notes or have ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep momentum between meetings.
