About Yangyang
Yangyang Xie is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She uses emotion-focused work to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. She speaks English, Mandarin, and Cantonese and accepts international clients.
Yangyang aims to make the first step feel manageable. She treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for existing strengths to build on. Sessions are straightforward and focused on practical changes that matter day to day.
Background and approach
In session she combines emotionally-focused techniques with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. That combination helps people understand their emotions, change unhelpful thinking patterns, and act in line with their values. She also draws on attachment-based and client-centered ideas to create a supportive space.
Yangyang has six years of clinical experience working with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem issues, and depression. Her additional focus areas include communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, impulsivity, isolation and loneliness, mood disorders, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and social anxiety. Sessions are practical and collaborative.
Yangyang listens closely, reflects what she hears, and offers strategies you can try between meetings. Her practice is geared toward steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support
Emotion-focused care and online flexibility
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name their feelings and how those feelings shape their reactions. It can be useful for reducing overwhelm, easing persistent anxiety, and working through painful memories. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills for accepting strong emotions while taking small actions that match personal values. It is often helpful for stress, avoidance, and low motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns of connection affect current relationships and emotional responses and can help with feelings of loneliness, trust, and self-worth.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to identify which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That might mean focusing on emotional processing in one phase and using ACT or CBT tools in another, with decisions made together as progress unfolds.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits. Phone sessions can work when a camera is not practical. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflections, or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and different time zones.
