About Le

Le Phuoc An Nguyen is an AASW-accredited social worker with six years' clinical experience in Australia. He works with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain and family concerns, plus trauma and mood disorder presentations. He also helps people facing stress, burnout and challenges tied to identity, including LGBT issues.

An draws on several practical approaches in sessions. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people focus on values and small changes. He also works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice thinking patterns, and with Client-Centred and Narrative ideas to listen to life stories and strengths.

In conversation he is direct but humane. He notices patterns from family of origin and attachment, and talks through how those patterns affect daily relationships. He pays attention to problems such as codependency, communication problems, jealousy, and commitment worries.

People who come with grief, abandonment or long-term mood concerns will find straightforward interventions and longer-form work where needed. He also responds to practical issues like career stress, compassion fatigue, and midlife questioning. Therapeutic offers may include short-term solution-focused steps alongside deeper psychodynamic reflection.

Sessions are arranged through an online sign-up and subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not accepted. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats when booking and follow the online matching steps to schedule a first appointment.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people decide what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. Online sessions using ACT often focus on brief exercises, values clarification and practical actions between meetings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviour. Online CBT sessions commonly use thought records, behavioural experiments and skills practice to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns.

Client-Centred and Narrative ideas support hearing a person's story and noticing strengths. In remote work this can mean guided reflection, rewriting unhelpful narratives and testing new behaviours in day-to-day life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, and then tries methods that fit the person's needs. That process is collaborative and reviewed regularly.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins during work breaks, or reduce travel time. Discuss practical arrangements and session length when you schedule the first appointment.
