Baotran Amanda Nguyen, LMFT, LPCC

Baotran Amanda Nguyen is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) and a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in California with four years of clinical experience. She works with people who face stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and addictions. Amanda also supports clients dealing with relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, parenting strain, career transitions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.

Amanda prefers straightforward conversations. She uses clear, practical techniques to help people notice patterns that keep anger and frustration active. Sessions often focus on identifying triggers, changing unhelpful thoughts, and building skills for calmer responding. She brings together client-centered listening with approaches that teach concrete tools for emotion regulation.

Her background includes work in mental health settings and direct experience with a range of diagnoses and behavioral concerns. Amanda draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift thinking patterns and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy inform how she helps people clarify values and rewrite unhelpful self-stories.

In sessions she aims for practical change rather than abstract talk. Expect short-term skill building alongside chance to look at deeper patterns over time. She uses simple language and step-by-step exercises so clients can practice between meetings.

Amanda conducts work in English and sees people in California. If you want to address anger at home, stress at work, or ongoing resentment, she focuses on helping people develop clearer reactions and better coping habits.
