About Yangyang
Yangyang Xie is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and self esteem concerns. She speaks English, Mandarin, and Cantonese and accepts international clients.
Yangyang believes each person knows their story and already has strengths to draw on. She offers steady support while people name goals and try new ways of coping. Her manner is collaborative and straightforward, aimed at practical steps rather than jargon.
In sessions she uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and make value-driven choices. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to strengthen relationships and build self-compassion. Dialectical behavior therapy skills are available for managing intense emotions and impulsive urges.
Yangyang has six years of professional experience working with mood-related concerns, panic and social anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and issues like guilt, shame, and isolation. She helps people work through communication problems, divorce and separation matters, and struggles with forgiveness and self-love.
Her approach emphasizes small, doable changes that fit day-to-day life. She invites people to take the first step, complete a brief intake, and then collaborate on a plan that matches their needs and pace.
