About Maysun
Maysun Elnihum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, ADHD and related issues. She also supports people facing career changes, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to adoption, attachment, and caregiving.
Maysun has worked in private practice and in psychiatric facilities. She has experience helping both children and adults, and she draws on methods that focus on thinking patterns, present goals, and motivation. Her work often involves speaking plainly about what is getting in the way of daily functioning and finding concrete ways to change those patterns.
In sessions she uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas, Client-Centered approaches, and Motivational Interviewing. That means conversations include looking at thoughts and behaviors, clarifying values and goals, and strengthening motivation for change. Mindfulness and existential ideas may also appear as ways to notice feelings and consider life choices.
Maysun aims to help people develop clearer coping strategies for anxiety, mood shifts, and relationship strains. She can walk a client through steps to manage symptoms, improve communication, or handle life transitions. Practical tools and short-term goals are often part of the work.
People who want to focus on family of origin patterns, attachment worries, or issues around adoption and abandonment may find her background relevant. She encourages straightforward talk about difficult topics and focuses on what can be done next.
How Maysun uses therapeutic approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice internal thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and situations where old family patterns get in the way. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful habits. This approach is often used for anxiety, mood issues, and relationship patterns.Choosing a method is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to see which approaches align with their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions often mix techniques so the plan can change as progress is made.
