Cuc Bui, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Cuc!

Feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, burnout, trauma, or a major life change? I'm Cortne, and I provide a warm, supportive space to help navigate life's challenges. Whether you're using your Employee Assistance Program (EAP) or seeking focused support, we'll work together to help you move forward with practical tools and renewed hope.

My focus

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, burnout, caregiver challenges, workplace stress, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy supporting professionals, healthcare workers, caregivers, and others in helping professions.

My approach

I believe therapy is a partnership. Together, we'll identify your goals, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to navigate life's challenges. I use evidence-based approaches, including CBT and trauma-informed care, tailored to your needs, meeting you where you are with compassion and helping you create lasting change.

My communication style

I believe healing begins with feeling heard. My style is warm, calm, and collaborative, creating a space where you can openly share your experiences without judgment. Together, we'll build practical tools to help you move forward with confidence and hope.

My journey to mental healthcare

With nearly 30 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I've worked in community mental health, hospitals, crisis intervention, and behavioral health leadership. I've had the privilege of helping people heal through trauma, loss, illness, and life's unexpected changes, supporting them through some of life's hardest moments.

My goals for you

We'll work together to identify what's most important to you and create realistic, meaningful goals. Whether you're seeking support through your Employee Assistance Program (EAP) or navigating a personal challenge, my goal is to help you gain practical coping skills, build resilience, and feel more confident long after therapy ends.

Our first session

Our first session is an opportunity to get to know each other. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, explore your goals, and develop a plan that feels comfortable and personalized. You don't need to have everything figured out before you begin.
