About Yangyang
Yangyang Xie is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who uses trauma-informed methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, and depression. She draws on EMDR therapy among other approaches to address symptoms related to past hurt and ongoing distress. Yangyang speaks English, Mandarin, and Cantonese which helps her connect with diverse clients.
She emphasizes that clients are the experts in their own lives. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than jargon.
Background and approach
Yangyang listens for strengths and builds on what is already working for each person. Her style blends acceptance and change work. She uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values.
She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how relationships influence feelings and behavior. Yangyang has six years of clinical experience and works with concerns such as parenting strain, trauma and abuse, panic attacks, social anxiety, and mood disorders. She also supports people dealing with communication breakdowns, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.
Sessions may include skill practice, emotion regulation tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered talk that follows the person’s pace. Her aim is to help people increase self-compassion, reduce overwhelm, and find clearer next steps.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when difficult emotions show up. It is often used for anxiety, low motivation, and stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thinking that keep problems going and trying new behaviors to change mood and functioning. It is helpful for depression, panic, and social anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional responses and can be useful when relationship patterns or trust issues are part of the problem.Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan if something does not fit, aiming for practical tools that match the person's needs.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face work and exercises, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, or travel while keeping continuity of care.
