About Maysun
Maysun Elnihum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, anger, career changes, and ADHD. She also addresses related issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, codependency, and caregiver stress.
Maysun has worked in private practice and in psychiatric facilities. She uses clear, direct methods to help people notice patterns in thinking and behavior. Sessions focus on practical skills people can try between meetings, and on breaking down problems into manageable steps.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, existential ideas, and mindfulness practices. That combination aims to help people reduce unhelpful thinking, clarify values, and build everyday coping habits. Conversations are goal-focused and action-oriented when that fits the client's needs.
Maysun guides people through processing trauma, addressing communication and control issues, and responding differently to strong emotions such as anger or resentment. She offers tools for handling work stress, addiction struggles, and life transitions. The work often includes short exercises, thought records, and mindfulness drills to practice outside sessions.
People who seek her help typically want straightforward strategies to change patterns that keep repeating. She encourages collaboration about goals and next steps, and frames therapy as a process of testing what works for each person.
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for handling chronic anger, anxiety, or life changes by focusing on what matters most and taking small committed steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior. It provides concrete exercises such as thought records and behavior experiments to reduce reactive patterns like sudden anger or ongoing resentment.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration. It supports people who need space to sort through emotions and then decide on practical next steps. Together these approaches aim to build skills and clarify goals rather than promise quick fixes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Maysun will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that match those priorities. That collaborative process means adjustments over time based on what helps.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caregiving by removing travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or sessions that focus on practicing breathing, mindfulness, or brief cognitive exercises without needing extended travel.
