About Hanh

Hanh Truong is a California licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, family conflict, and trauma. Sessions are offered in English and Vietnamese and are based in California.

Hanh focuses on practical ways to manage worry and painful moments. He listens for the patterns that make social situations and relationships feel hard. Conversations tend to include steps people can use between sessions to practice new skills and notice small changes.

His background includes two decades of direct clinical work with adults and with couples and families in various settings. That experience shapes a down-to-earth approach that balances talking with concrete practices. Hanh draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address problems such as grief, intimacy concerns, parenting stress, and feeling isolated.

In sessions he pays attention to the immediate problem and the life events that led up to it. That means addressing practical issues like communication and boundaries alongside emotional responses like guilt, shame, or anger. He also supports people coping with major life changes, immigration-related stress, adoption and foster care questions, and other complex situations.

People who want direct guidance, clear next steps, and a focus on real-life changes may find this approach helpful. To begin, clients follow the site's process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule an initial session.

How evidence-based methods translate to online care

Hanh uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful thinking and building practical skills. Cognitive approaches look at the thoughts that keep anxiety and avoidance going and offer exercises to test those thoughts in real situations. Behavioral techniques emphasize gradual exposure and repeated practice to reduce fear of social situations and phobic triggers.

He also uses strategies that target relationships and communication. These approaches help people notice interaction patterns, practice clearer requests, and set boundaries that reduce recurring conflict or misunderstandings. Together these methods address both internal worries and the ways people behave in social settings.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Hanh collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. He checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Phone sessions often use less bandwidth and can be a practical choice for brief updates, while video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for role plays and communication practice.
