Maysun Elnihum , LPC

Maysun Elnihum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who has worked with both children and adults in private practice settings as well as psychiatric facilities. She draws on evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, to tailor care to each person's needs and goals.

Opening up to a therapist can feel uncomfortable, and Maysun acknowledges that initial nervousness while creating a supportive space for exploration. She focuses on helping people gain new perspectives on their thoughts and behaviors, learn healthier coping strategies, and address challenges such as trauma, relationship concerns, anxiety, and persistent negative thinking patterns.

Maysun emphasizes practical steps and collaborative problem solving so clients can explore different pathways toward their goals. She frames therapy as one of several tools people can use to move past obstacles and build more adaptive ways of handling life's stresses and transitions.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take meaningful action that aligns with their values. ACT is often used to address anxiety, stress, and situations where rigid thinking limits functioning.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, active listening, and creating a nonjudgmental environment where the client leads the conversation. This approach supports self-exploration and can be helpful for relationship concerns, low self-esteem, and processing emotional experiences.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, teaching practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping strategies. CBT is commonly applied to anxiety, depression, and patterns of negative thinking.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as needed to find the best fit.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect with licensed professionals, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules, bridge distance barriers, and maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult, while allowing therapists to tailor session structure to each client's needs.
