About Mai-Han
Mai-Han Dinh is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California. She brings 15 years of clinical experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and major life transitions.
Background and approach
Sessions are offered in English and Vietnamese to suit different needs. Her practice focuses on practical tools and real conversation.
She uses clear strategies from approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR to reduce symptoms and make daily life easier. She also draws on motivational interviewing and narrative work to help people reconnect with their values and goals.
In session she helps people talk through relationship problems, communication difficulties, and the emotional fallout from separation or divorce. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, impulsivity, questions about sexuality, and finding life purpose.
Workplace stress and social anxiety are common topics she addresses. Her style is collaborative and paced to the person sitting across from her.
She aims to create a calm space where people can name what’s most painful and practice new ways of coping. Progress often focuses on small, manageable changes rather than overnight fixes.
Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Those interested can complete a short matching questionnaire to begin and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Mai-Han uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors in daily life. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into concrete steps that can be practiced between sessions. She also works with eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to address traumatic memories and the strong emotions they bring. EMDR aims to reduce the intensity of traumatic reactions so memories feel less overwhelming and intrusive. Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about symptoms, goals, and preferences, and then together they decide which methods to try. Techniques can be adjusted over time so the plan fits what actually helps in day-to-day life. Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet that fit different schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller discussion is needed. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to access therapy while balancing work, family, and other obligations.Frequently asked questions
