About Hanh
Hanh Truong is a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 20 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflict, trauma and abuse, and anger. Sessions are conducted in English and Vietnamese for people who prefer those languages.
He focuses on practical steps that reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning. In sessions he helps people notice patterns that lead to snapping, resentment, or withdrawal. He also addresses intimacy concerns, parenting strains, grief, and issues related to identity and LGBT concerns.
His approach uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage emotions and repair communication. He often guides clients through exercises that increase awareness of triggers and teach skills for calmer responses. Work includes addressing family of origin themes, blended family challenges, fatherhood issues, and adoption or foster care topics.
Clients may also bring concerns about coping with major life changes, compassion fatigue, immigration-related stress, or problems after divorce or separation. He helps people untangle guilt, shame, or emptiness and rebuild clearer expectations in relationships.
Hanh emphasizes straightforward conversations and skill practice rather than long lectures. He supports people as they try new ways of responding, tracks progress, and adjusts the focus as needed. To start, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options before booking.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Hanh uses evidence-based techniques that focus on changing patterns and building skills. One common approach teaches people to recognize their emotional triggers, name the physical signs, and practice brief grounding or breathing exercises to reduce immediate reactivity. This helps with snapping at loved ones and intense workplace frustration.Another approach emphasizes communication skills and behavioral experiments. Clients try short, concrete changes in how they ask for needs or set boundaries, then review what worked. That method is practical for repairing relationship strain and managing resentment that builds up over time.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. He will help clients and therapists decide what fits best based on the person's goals, current problems, and preferences. That process may shift if a tactic isn't helping, and adjustments are made together.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, reduce commute time, or have shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss scheduling and format preferences during the matching process to find a workable plan.
