About Maysun

Maysun Elnihum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas who brings eight years of experience to her work.

Background and approach

She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, anger, career transitions, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Her background includes clinical work in independent practice and psychiatric facility settings, supporting clients through a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges.

Her therapeutic style emphasizes collaboration and practical skill-building. Maysun integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with client-centered and mindfulness-informed techniques, tailoring sessions to each person’s needs.

She aims to help clients notice unhelpful patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and identify values-based goals. Whether addressing attachment concerns, dissociation, adoption and foster care issues, or struggles like codependency and body image, she offers a thoughtful, strengths-focused approach that encourages growth and resilience.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages clients to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values; this approach can help people manage anxiety, depression, and life changes by clarifying what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors, which is practical for addressing anxiety, depression, mood instability, and problematic habits. Mindfulness Therapy involves practices that increase present-moment awareness and self-compassion, supporting stress reduction and improved emotional regulation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting the plan over time so interventions remain useful and relevant to the client’s needs.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing therapy to fit varied schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice skills between sessions, and continue care from home or other locations within Texas. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and tools for each format to help clients progress toward their goals.
