About Hanh

Hanh Truong is a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 20 years of clinical experience. He helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, or depression. Parents and partners often come to him when relationship and family tensions get hard to manage.

He offers a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk about painful experiences. That includes trauma, grief, and issues tied to identity such as LGBT concerns. Hanh listens for what matters most and helps clients find clearer ways to respond to difficult emotions.

In sessions he focuses on practical steps and real-life changes rather than long explanations. He will work with clients to identify patterns that fuel conflict and low mood. From there he suggests concrete strategies to improve communication, manage strong feelings, and rebuild trust in relationships.

Hanh draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to match a person’s needs. He also brings experience with adoption and foster care, blended family issues, immigration-related stress, and caregiver strain like compassion fatigue. He helps people address problems tied to family of origin, forgiveness, and fatherhood issues.

Sessions are offered in English and Vietnamese. Hanh practices in California and holds the LMFT credential, which stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. If you want to explore change, he encourages starting with a short intake to see if the fit feels right.

Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options

Hanh uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on emotion awareness and regulation, teaching people simple ways to notice and name strong feelings and then choose healthier responses. This can help when anger or anxiety frequently lead to conflict.

Another frequent focus is improving communication skills within relationships. That involves learning how to express needs, listen without reacting, and repair ruptures so conflicts are less likely to escalate. These skills are useful for parenting, blended family stress, and repairing intimacy problems.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. He will work with each person to pick techniques that fit their goals, history, and daily life. Together they review what is helping and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also be helpful when someone prefers not to commute or needs flexibility to schedule around work or caregiving responsibilities.
