About Mai-Trinh

Mai-Trinh Tran is a licensed professional counselor who centers her practice on collaborative, skills-based work informed by Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other humanistic approaches.

Background and approach

Trinh emphasizes practical tools and thought-work to address symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress, and struggles with self-esteem while helping clients clarify personal values and next steps. With five years of counseling experience in Texas, she draws on both CBT techniques and client-centered principles to help clients identify unhelpful patterns and build concrete plans for change.

Her practice also includes support for people navigating relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse recovery, and issues related to abandonment, attachment, and codependency. Trinh highlights strengths and resilience, guiding individuals through forgiveness, shame reduction, and growth toward a healthier self-image.

Fluent in English and Vietnamese, she integrates mindfulness and existential perspectives when clients explore meaning, life purpose, and midlife or young adult transitions. Trinh welcomes the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to partner with each person to set achievable goals and sustainable steps forward.

Applying CBT and Client-Centered Work to Online Sessions

Trinh often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical strategies for reducing anxiety and depressive symptoms; CBT sessions typically focus on noticing patterns, testing beliefs, and practicing new behaviors. She also draws from Client-Centered Therapy which emphasizes empathic listening, validation, and creating a collaborative space where clients can explore their goals and values at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Trinh treats the choice of methods as a collaborative decision. She partners with each client to consider their needs, preferences, and goals and may blend techniques over time so the work fits the individual rather than following a fixed formula.

Online therapy with Trinh is offered through flexible formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain consistent sessions, try in-the-moment skill practice, and access support from home or work while shaping treatment around daily life.
