Mai Huong Nguyen , LCSW

Mai Huong Nguyen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and behavioral health specialist with 19 years of experience helping people navigate stress, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. She also practices as a certified relationship coach and a certified Conscious Uncoupling coach, offering focused support for breakups and divorce whether they are recent or stem from decades-old wounds. Based in Maine, she combines clinical training with coaching skills to address concerns that affect emotional well-being, intimate partnerships, and workplace functioning.

Mai Huong approaches care with an emphasis on kindness, respect, and nonjudgmental listening so that individuals feel seen, heard, and validated. Her work centers on cultivating acceptance of what is happening now while gently examining the assumptions and beliefs that sustain painful patterns. She explores when and why those beliefs formed and guides people through a mindful process of rewriting the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships.

Her practice integrates relational and trauma-informed perspectives to help clients move toward greater resilience, clearer boundaries, and more fulfilling connections. Whether addressing grief, addiction, mood concerns, parenting challenges, or career questions, Mai Huong aims to support practical change alongside emotional healing.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Mai Huong Nguyen integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice to address emotional and relational concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and unconditional regard, creating space for individuals to feel understood and to explore their values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and offers practical strategies for shifting patterns related to anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also incorporates EMDR for people processing traumatic memories; EMDR uses guided bilateral stimulation alongside focused attention to help reduce the intensity of past distress and change how memories are experienced. Together these approaches give a mix of supportive listening, skill-building, and trauma-focused interventions depending on need.

Finding the right approach is collaborative - Mai Huong works with each person to determine what fits their needs, preferences, and goals, and adjusts methods over time. Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling, supports continuity when travel or work makes in-person care difficult, and makes it easier to receive ongoing support from licensed professionals and therapists in ways that match daily life.
