About Huyen

Huyen Tran is an AASW social worker with four years of clinical experience. She helps people who are overwhelmed by stress and anxiety and those trying to rebuild after trauma. Her approach is calm and respectful, and she aims to make the first steps easier for anyone feeling unsure about therapy.

Huyen listens first, then works with each person to set small, realistic goals. She draws on practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness to reduce worrying thoughts and ease sleep problems.

Background and approach

For people managing mood instability or bipolar symptoms she combines emotion-regulation strategies with problem-solving steps that fit day-to-day life. Sessions are shaped around what the individual needs. Huyen uses client-centred principles to create a space where people feel heard and can explore low self-esteem, impulsivity, or social anxiety.

She also offers techniques from dialectical behaviour therapy to help with strong emotions and interpersonal communication challenges. Huyen can work in English or Vietnamese and she practises in Australia. She can support people dealing with panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, anger, and relationship communication problems, and she offers guidance for building self-love and confidence.

The goal is steady, manageable change rather than quick fixes. She invites people to take the initial step when they feel ready. Huyen tailors conversations and any plan to each person's needs, and she encourages small, sustainable actions between sessions to make progress feel possible.

How Huyen's approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them, and it encourages choosing actions that match personal values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours, which can reduce anxious or depressive symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention and calm breathing to lower reactivity and improve sleep and focus.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Huyen will talk through your concerns and goals and together you will try methods that suit your needs and preferences. She adapts tools from each approach to match how you like to learn and what fits into your daily life.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls let you use visual cues and a full conversation, phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited, live chat allows brief check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and routine while using the same therapeutic tools as in person.
