Getting to know Theresa Nguyen

My name is Theresa Nguyen, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Orange County/Los Angeles, California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master's in Social Work from California State University, Long Beach. I approach therapy collaboratively, utilizing science and spirituality to help clients build tools, skills, and knowledge to manage life's challenges. While I have experience with youth and families, I currently work with young adults and adults, specializing in anxiety, depression, and stress. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients maintain a balanced life. I also take a trauma-informed approach and have found narrative therapy helps clients reflect and connect with themselves and others. My approach I take a humanistic and pragmatic approach to therapy. I prioritize relationship building and provide unconditional positive regard, while helping clients identify automatic thoughts, increase self-awareness, and challenge negative thinking patterns to realistic, positive ones. My focus I work with young adults and adults dealing with life transitions, identity crises, grief and loss, social pressures, and healing from past traumas. These challenges often present as anxiety, depression, and stress. I support clients in navigating transitions and building skills, tools, and knowledge to learn more about themselves, feel better, and heal from past traumas. My communication style I am warm and inviting, with great compassion for the well-being of others and the community. My goal is to connect with each person, understand their patterns of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and meet them where they are. Working with me is a collaborative experience because you know yourself best.
