Hoang has been a wonderful resource of support and guidance as I have been navigating an extremely difficult life transition. He is empathetic, kind, patient, understanding, and the utmost professional. He has helped me with trying to make sense of the changes I am going through and even consider others’ different perspectives. I wholeheartedly recommend him and BetterHelp for all the help they have provided and continue to provide to me.

More about Hoang

  • 18 years' experience
  • Male
  • LMFT

I am a family and marriage therapist, licensed in California with over 13 years of experience working as therapist. I have worked with clients between the ages of 7 to 70, with issues ranging from ADHD, depression, anxiety, marriage, divorce, relationships, parenting, anger management, and co-parenting.

My therapeutic orientation is Client-Centered, Gestalt, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy). I use different modalities of treatments, including CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), rational-emotive therapy, motivational interviewing, from studies and data to help clients achieve maximum recovery. I know the ultimate decision is the client’s and often times a sounding board from someone who is objective, caring and verse in the helping field is all that one needs. We will be partners in developing a treatment plan that will meet your needs and unique lifestyle.

Know that you are loved.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Hoang Tran has been a tremendous help to me. He understands me and always offers solutions. He engages in conversations that make me think and evaluate my thoughts and actions. A truly good human being.

Hoang is a great person to speak with. No matter what issue I wanted to discuss with him, he was always ready to talk it out with me and give great advice and help me better understand what I couldn’t even figure out what I was going through. He guided me, and he listened when I needed to vent. I highly recommend Hoang to anyone who needs someone to listen, advise, or be there to support them in their times of need.

Reviewed May 2024

I feel like I have grown and learned a lot since working with Hoang. He is empathetic, encouraging, patient, and professional. I recall commenting once in an early session that I understood his role to be that of a neutral guide, and he kindly corrected me and explained that he is my advocate and is here to help and support me in any way he can. He has certainly done that for me, and I look forward to each session that I have with him, because regardless of what we review and discuss, or how challenging or emotional the topic, I always gain a sense of clarity afterward. I am very grateful to Hoang for all the support, and look forward to continuing to work and progress with him.

So glad I connected with Hoang during a really tough/ traumatizing time in my life. He's calming and easy to talk to and he's a wealth of knowledge. He also shares a lot of resources to help me through the rest of the week.

Hoang has everything you'll want in a therapist. He's patient, understanding, and a great listener. Hoang helped me work through relationship issues over the course of several months. Therapy with him really made a big difference. I've gained a new perspective. I've also come away with relationship and more general life skills that will stand me in good stead for the future. Hoang certainly delivered top-quality professional, therapeutic service. But on top of that I looked forward to our sessions, which almost felt like a heart-to-heart with an old friend or older brother. I'd like to express my heartfelt thanks to him.

Reviewed February 2023

I have only been working with Hoang a few weeks but in that short timeframe, he has helped me immensely. He's been a patient and generous listener, given me tools and exercises that help me better understand myself, and is supportive of my goals. He is extremely responsive and understanding, and I would absolutely recommend him and encourage anyone to try BetterHelp -- even for those who don't have an urgent need, I believe BetterHelp provides a very easy, convenient, and well designed platform and is a resource for people to improve upon and maintain their mental health and wellness. I am very grateful to Hoang and all the BetterHelp team for their assistance as I work on prioritizing myself and my well-being.
