About Maysun
Maysun Elnihum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, relationship and family issues, grief, anger, and challenges tied to career or life transitions.
She has provided care in private practice and in psychiatric facility settings. Her background includes work with people facing addiction, codependency, abandonment and attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, and caregiver stress. That variety informs how she notices patterns and practical obstacles that get in the way of day-to-day functioning.
Maysun uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. In sessions she helps people identify thinking and behavior patterns, try different coping strategies, and set small, achievable steps toward clearer priorities.
Her approach is straightforward and focused on what is useful right now. Conversations often include noticing automatic thoughts, practicing mindful awareness, and clarifying values to guide decisions after big changes in work, relationships, or health.
People who feel stuck or uncertain about what comes next may find practical help in sessions that balance problem-solving and reflection. She also supports those coping with trauma, disrupted attachment, and mood challenges by addressing both immediate coping and longer-term patterns.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions, then choosing steps that align with personal values; it can help when someone feels directionless after work or relationship changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and experimenting with small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and shift mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience and uses reflective listening to help clarify goals and priorities.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed based on what is helpful. That process can include short practical exercises between sessions and setting concrete next steps to test in daily life.
The exact session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and mindfulness practices for remote sessions so progress continues between meetings.
