About Maysun
Maysun Elnihum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship problems, and other life changes. She works with adults and has experience in private practice and psychiatric settings.
Maysun uses practical, talk-based methods that focus on how thoughts and actions interact. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness practices to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Sessions are conversational and aim to identify small, manageable shifts people can make in daily life.
She also brings approaches meant to increase awareness of values and choices. That can include clarifying what matters most and practicing small changes that line up with those values. Mindfulness strategies are used to reduce reactivity and improve focus on present-moment experience.
Maysun has worked with people in outpatient and inpatient psychiatric settings, which informs her approach to crisis, mood concerns, and ongoing stress. Her background includes helping clients with addiction, bipolar mood concerns, grief, anger, attention challenges, and caregiver stress.
People who prefer straightforward, action-focused conversations may find this style helpful. Before a first session she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting to clarify goals and next steps.
Approaches used and how online sessions work
Many of her sessions use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is a hands-on approach that helps with anxiety, mood concerns, and relationship difficulties by practicing new responses.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward those values, and on client-centered methods that emphasize listening and reflecting to help people feel understood and make decisions. These approaches can help with stress, trauma responses, anger, and coping with life changes.
Finding the right method is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit best based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That discussion guides whether sessions emphasize skills practice, values work, or exploratory conversation.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make scheduling easier and help fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or let someone avoid travel time. Licensed professionals often adapt tools and homework to whatever session format is arranged to keep progress moving forward.
