About Yangyang
Yangyang Xie is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) licensed in California with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and self-esteem, and she works in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. Yangyang describes her practice as one that recognizes clients as experts in their own stories and builds on existing strengths.
Her approach combines several evidence-based methods. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She draws on acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and take manageable action. She also incorporates attachment-informed ideas to examine patterns that affect relationships and parenting.
Yangyang favors a client-centered stance. She aims to listen and reflect so clients can name what matters and test small changes. Dialectical behavior therapy skills appear in her work when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
She has supported people dealing with panic, social anxiety, mood disorders, isolation and separation after divorce. The list of concerns she addresses also includes forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, and rebuilding self-love after trauma.
Sessions are grounded in practical steps and straightforward conversation. The therapist helps people set short-term goals and tracks progress across sessions. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take small steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It is often useful for anxiety, low motivation, and persistent worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is commonly used for panic, social anxiety, and mood symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means checking in about what feels helpful and adjusting techniques over time.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit around work or family obligations. They can also allow for shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed and reduce travel time. Prospective clients should review available formats and pick the option that best fits their daily routine and technical setup.
