He focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress and anxiety, as well as problems with addiction, trauma, anger, and depression.

He approaches sessions with the belief that each person knows their own story best.
Background and approach
He helps clients identify existing strengths and practical steps to address stressful patterns. Conversations are meant to be direct and respectful, with an emphasis on small changes that add up over time. Giang offers support for workplace stress and communication problems.
He also addresses money and financial worries, issues around forgiveness, men's concerns, and post-traumatic stress. His background includes long-term clinical work in California across a variety of settings over 25 years. In sessions he listens for patterns that keep problems going and helps people try different strategies.
That may include learning new ways to manage anger, reduce anxiety, or cope with cravings and triggers tied to addiction. He works at the client’s pace and checks in about what feels helpful. People who prefer straightforward, practical conversations often find his style useful.
He assists with setting short-term goals and developing skills that can be used between sessions. For many clients, that steady focus on skills and small gains leads to clearer thinking and better daily functioning.
How therapeutic techniques translate to online care
Giang uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills you can practice between sessions. One common approach emphasizes learning concrete coping skills for anxiety and stress, such as breathing, grounding, and step-by-step behavior changes to reduce worry and avoidance. These methods help people regain calm and handle day-to-day triggers.Another approach centers on managing anger and addictive behaviors by spotting patterns and testing new responses. This involves tracking situations that lead to urges or outbursts, trying alternative actions, and reviewing what worked. That method is useful for workplace tensions, communication issues, and relationship stress that affect daily life.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about goals, try different strategies, and adjust over time based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay focused on practical progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and face-to-face connection, phone calls can fit a short break at work or when bandwidth is low, and chat or text works for quick check-ins and ongoing support between appointments. These options provide flexibility to match therapy to a busy schedule.
