Maysun Elnihum , LPC

Maysun Elnihum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She has worked with both children and adults in private practice settings and at psychiatric facilities, building a foundation of clinical experience across diverse care environments. As an LPC, she holds the state credential to provide mental health counseling and guidance to clients seeking support.

Maysun draws on evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, to help clients identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical strategies for change. She understands that starting therapy can feel nerve-wracking, and she aims to create a respectful, approachable atmosphere where people can explore trauma, relationship concerns, anxiety, and negative thinking patterns. Her work emphasizes collaboration, skill building, and goal-oriented progress so clients can discover new ways to cope with life challenges and move toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Maysun uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-focused, and it often helps with anxiety, negative thinking patterns, and stress management.

She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which encourages clients to accept difficult emotions while committing to values-driven action. ACT can be useful for those learning to live with chronic feelings without letting them dictate life choices.

Client-Centered Therapy is another part of her approach, emphasizing empathy, active listening, and collaboration so that clients feel heard and respected as they explore personal goals and solutions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Maysun works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access to care. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work on skills and goals from different locations, while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
