I absolutely love working with Dr. Duong. In just over five months, I have noticed massive improvements in my emotional regulation skills as well as the ability to externalize those emotions and be vulnerable with the people in my life. Additionally, I have noticed I experience much less chronic anxiety, and an overall increase in my mood. Dr. Duong does a great job at challenging my thought patterns that do not serve me in a kind and constructive way, acknowledges when I am doing well, and offers helpful advice and tools to improving quality of life. Excellent therapist, I highly recommend!

Have you ever felt that something was missing from your life, as though you were attempting to reach a destination; however, it could not be reached? We will be looking at ways to fill up our lives that provide feelings of purpose. Sometimes it's easy to look for the next quick fix only to discover we are right where we started. Back to square one! Together, we will discover what areas of life feel unfulfilling and identify barriers and approaches to overcome the obstacles to bring more life satisfaction and self-congruency. I provide hypnotherapy, spiritual counseling as a Kvantum Energy Facilitator and mental health therapy.

Through holistic and integrative therapy, we will examine the areas of life that may feel unfulfilling and develop strategies to build more meaning and consistency. By examining our current behaviors, we can develop interventions that focus on self-direction and self-autonomy. I provide mental health counseling, energy healing strategies including fitness.

By reaching out to me as your mental health counselor, various resources and tools can be discovered to build more life satisfaction and congruency. This time is your time. Let's work together to find real potential and bring more life purpose and identify strategies to conquer any negative self-doubt and address any feelings of uncertainty.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She is very down to earth and understanding

Reviewed November 2025

She challenges me to think about why I do the things I do and if needed try to work on those behaviors. It gives a different perspective than just someone listening to me talk.

Reviewed June 2025

Dr Duong is very insightful! She has different therapy techniques that I’ve never encountered before that have actually helped me to grow as a person!

Reviewed May 2025

Dr. Duong’s approach to therapy is definitely my style of therapy, she lets me speak does not cut me off really listens to my needs and gives me time to reflect and think about what I need out of therapy. I’ve seen her a few times now but I believe it’s going to be a great match and I will grow tremendously! I really like her straight forward approach and the worksheets she gives me to have me analyze my behaviors. I love all the new terminology I’m learning through her and things I am discovering about myself! I am happy I found a therapist that meets my needs into this new realm of self discovery!

So far so good. I like the Dr's approach. It is still early in these sessions but I'm getting more comfortable with it.

I am very grateful for Dr. Duong for helping me with my anxiety/depression. She is very calm and easy to talk to. I've made so much progress with her help.

Reviewed November 2023

For the few meetings we have had so far, she has been great. She listens to me, provides amazing feedback and helps work through any feeling/thought I have. She always stays neutral which I find great. She doesn't show emotion when I talk about traumas, which I love. I hate when people show pity/empathy, it makes me not want to talk about it. I need someone to listen and help work through it, which she does.

Reviewed November 2023

Dr Duong is the best therapist I have ever had. She listens intently and gives the best recommendations for problems that arise. My mind set has greatly improved since going to her.

Reviewed November 2023

Dr. Duong is very caring and attentive. She really listens and you can feel that she is listening and that just shows more how much she genuinely cares. She checks in when I'm sure she does not have to and it means a lot more than most might think.

Reviewed August 2023

It was my intention to find a female therapist, and Dr. Duong was a great fit, meeting me where I was at, and allowing me to bring in the spiritual practices and rhythms, while still trying out new things like guided meditation. I would recommend her for anyone that needs to unpack and untangle the self from being enmeshed in religion/parental roles/familial expectations.

Reviewed July 2023

She is doing an amazing job. She doesn’t have to take the time to reach out but she does, and that makes me feel important, that my mental health matters not just to myself but the person I’m trusting to help me. Dr.Duong seems to be very caring and I appreciate her efforts!

Reviewed July 2023
