About Le
Le Phuoc An Nguyen is an AASW social worker with six years of practice in Australia. He works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns and LGBT issues, and supports people facing trauma, family problems and life changes.
He keeps sessions direct and conversational. He asks about current problems and daily routines. He helps people identify practical steps and notice patterns that get in the way. He also challenges unhelpful habits and offers different ways to respond to old difficulties.
An draws on several approaches to match the issue at hand. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts, feelings and behaviours. He uses Client-Centred and Narrative methods to help people tell their story and make sense of painful events.
In clinic work he has supported people with complex trauma and severe mood difficulties, and he has a particular interest in grief and loss. He also works with career stress, self-esteem, and coping with major life transitions. Sessions aim to be practical and focused on what the person wants to change.
He works with adults who are navigating the pressures of early adulthood as well as longer-standing mental health concerns. Sessions can include short term problem solving or longer work on deeper patterns, depending on what the person prefers.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward the life they want. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives clear skills to reduce unhelpful patterns. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person’s perspective, listening closely to what matters and letting the person guide the pace and focus of sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, then agree on an approach together. This is a collaborative process that can change as issues shift or new priorities emerge.
The practical aim of online work is to fit therapy into everyday life. Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list them. Online options can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work or travel, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel to appointments. Appropriately qualified or registered professionals and therapists can use these options to keep continuity of care while adjusting how often and how long sessions run.
