About Tram
Tram Truong is an AASW social worker with three years' experience supporting people through trauma, mood problems and life changes. She works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar, low self-esteem and coping with major transitions. Tram uses a person-centred, trauma-informed stance and draws on strengths-based practice to support people carrying guilt and shame.
She favours clear, practical work over jargon. Sessions focus on identifying what feels stuck, naming painful patterns, and building small new ways of responding. She helps people notice their strengths and apply them to everyday problems, such as managing mood shifts or navigating difficult relationships.
Tram has worked with people dealing with abandonment, blended family issues and domestic violence, and supports those affected by sexual assault and post-traumatic stress. She pays attention to multicultural concerns and the ways culture and family history shape feelings of guilt and shame.
Her approach is collaborative. She works with clients to set realistic goals and to design steps that fit a person's life. Communication and problem-solving are central parts of the work, and she will help people practise new skills between sessions.
Tram speaks English and Vietnamese and provides support from Australia. People who want to start a series of sessions are asked to use the online matching system to book an initial appointment and decide on next steps together.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online work
Tram describes her methods as trauma-informed and person-centred, and she draws on strengths-based practice. A trauma-informed approach means recognising how past harm affects current feelings and reactions, and working slowly to reduce re-triggering while building coping skills. Person-centred work focuses on the person's priorities and what matters most to them, rather than following a fixed script.Strengths-based practice highlights a person's existing abilities and resources. That can look like mapping coping skills already in use, then adapting and practising them for stressful moments such as panic attacks or shame episodes. These approaches are commonly used with mood disorders, post-traumatic stress and relationship-related guilt.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tram will discuss options and help decide what fits each person's needs, goals and preferences so the plan feels realistic and manageable. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all decision.
The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around family or work commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Practical benefits include keeping continuity during busy periods and using scheduled sessions to practise skills between meetings.
