About Mai
Mai Huong Nguyen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical, compassionate care for people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma, grief, depression, and life changes. Mai aims to meet people with respect and simple, direct support without judgment.
She uses a client-centered stance to listen first and let each person guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps break down patterns that keep someone stuck, while EMDR is offered as an option for processing upsetting memories.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and solution-focused ideas are woven in to help people manage day-to-day coping and set clear goals. Many sessions involve looking at the beliefs and stories that shape how someone responds to stress, relationships, and loss. Mai helps people notice where those beliefs began and then practice new ways of thinking and acting.
This includes readable tools for sleep, anger, or low mood and step-by-step approaches for managing career or parenting strain. She also brings coaching skills to relationship transitions and separation work, helping people untangle emotions and plan next steps. The focus is on small, doable changes that reduce distress and improve functioning over time.
Mai practices from Maine and offers services through video, phone, chat, and messaging. Sessions aim to be collaborative, with the person’s goals guiding the pace and methods used.

Online support
How these approaches work online
Mai blends client-centered care with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR when appropriate. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead so goals come from what matters most to them. CBT breaks problems into steps - thoughts, feelings, and behaviors - and teaches practical skills to change those patterns. EMDR is offered as a method to help process troubling memories by using structured bilateral stimulation alongside guided recall; it can be useful for trauma-related distress.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss options, try techniques that fit the person’s goals, and adjust methods over time based on what feels helpful. Sessions emphasize collaboration and testing new ways of coping in manageable steps.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for fuller conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a work break. Chat and messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility so people can access care that fits their schedule and needs.
