About Mai-Han

Mai-Han Dinh is a licensed therapist in California with 15 years of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and major life transitions. As an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she draws on years of practice to create a calm, respectful space where emotional struggles can be explored at a manageable pace.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, focused on meeting each person where they are and responding to their needs with empathy and practical tools. Whether someone is coping with the aftermath of trauma, navigating relationship shifts, processing loss, or wrestling with persistent anxiety or low mood, Mai-Han combines evidence-informed techniques with attentive listening to help clients find steadier ground.

She emphasizes collaboration and individual pacing, encouraging exploration of personal values, communication patterns, and coping strategies. The aim is to help people move toward greater self-understanding, improved relationships, and clearer direction when facing life changes. Mai-Han approaches each therapeutic relationship with respect and compassion, honoring the unique story each person brings to the work.

Therapeutic approaches and finding the right online fit

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress, anxiety, and low mood - it is practical and problem-focused, useful for managing day-to-day symptoms and building coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, supports processing of distressing memories and trauma by using structured methods to reduce the intensity of traumatic responses and promote adaptive healing. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people clarify values and increase motivation for change when facing ambivalence about decisions or life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Mai-Han works with each person to explore their goals, preferences, and the nature of their concerns, and then tailors the therapeutic plan so it fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit support into busy schedules and varied life circumstances. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats to maintain continuity of care, adapt interventions to the online setting, and help clients access consistent support from wherever they are located in California.
