Maysun Elnihum, LPC

Maysun Elnihum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, mood concerns like depression and bipolar, and challenges such as ADHD, addictions, and low self-esteem. She also helps with relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, career changes, and compassion fatigue. Her focus includes everyday patterns of thinking and habits that get in the way of daily life.

Maysun draws on practical, evidence-informed approaches to help clients notice thoughts, try new behaviors, and build routines that fit real life. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented, with room to talk through past hurts and current worries. She aims to create a steady place to practice changes and try different ways of coping.

Her background includes work in private practice and psychiatric facilities, where she has supported both children and adults. That range informs how she tailors sessions to each person’s needs and stage of life. She brings eight years of clinical experience to her work as an LPC.

Maysun often uses cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and mindfulness skills to manage strong emotions. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find personal reasons to change. Those methods are used together to match what each person needs in the room.

People who choose her work with thoughts and everyday habits as part of their change plan. She encourages small, doable steps and checks in on how strategies are working. The process is collaborative and paced to what the client can handle.

Approaches that translate to online work

Maysun often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify their values and take small committed steps toward a life they care about. ACT is useful for anxiety, stress, and problems where avoidance has become a habit.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT offers practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and build healthier routines, helpful for depression, anxiety, and habit change.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and daily life needs. That collaborative decision can shift as progress is made.

Please confirm the current session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into busy schedules, keeping check-ins brief during a workday, or avoiding travel time. Online work also makes it easier to practice skills in the places where daily routines happen, and sessions can be adapted to focus on homework, skill rehearsal, or short coaching-style conversations when needed.
