Maysun Elnihum, LPC

Maysun Elnihum is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, addictions, relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, career pressures, ADHD, and codependency. She also lists areas like abandonment, attachment issues, body image, and caregiver stress among her focus areas.

She has worked in private practice and in psychiatric facilities, seeing both children and adults in those settings. In sessions she listens for patterns that keep people stuck. She helps clients notice thoughts and behaviors that contribute to distress and tries different ways to respond to them.

Maysun uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered approaches, Existential therapy, and Mindfulness techniques. In plain terms she will help someone identify unhelpful thinking, experiment with new habits, and notice values that matter most.

Her style is practical and direct. Conversations tend to focus on what is happening now, what the person wants to change, and small steps to try between sessions. She also brings work from more intensive settings and draws on that experience when safety or severe symptoms come up.

People who contact her are often looking for help managing anxiety, changing repeating relationship patterns like people-pleasing, coping with loss or trauma, or getting clearer about goals. To begin, she asks clients to describe their current concerns and goals so sessions can start with a clear plan.
