About Phuong

Dr. Phuong "Diane" Nguyen offers an integrative, client-centered approach built on 18 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She blends talk-based care with mind-body and spiritual perspectives drawn from doctoral training in neuropsychology to help people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship difficulties, and ADHD. Dr.

Nguyen emphasizes present-moment awareness and practical skills so clients can respond differently to life challenges and rediscover purpose. Her background also includes training in forensic psychology, which informs a thoughtful stance toward trauma, abuse, and complex relational patterns.

She works with concerns ranging from intimacy and attachment issues to anger, sleep problems, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Dr.

Nguyen aims to gently challenge unhelpful patterns while building coping skills, communication, and self-compassion so clients can move toward greater ease and meaning in everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and commit to actions that align with what matters most, while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than avoiding them. This approach can be helpful for stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes where values-guided action is useful.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors through practical exercises and skill-building. It is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep difficulties, and coping strategies for ADHD-related challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens collaboratively. The therapist will partner with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailor methods from ACT, CBT, DBT, attachment-based, or client-centered practices as appropriate to create a personalized plan.

Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life transitions, and use a mix of real-time conversation and written check-ins to support progress.
