About Yangyang
Yangyang Xie is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on practical ways to reduce anxiety and stress. She works with people feeling overwhelmed by worry, panic, low mood, or difficult life changes. She speaks English, Mandarin, and Cantonese and practices in California as an LMFT.
Yangyang meets people where they are and helps them name what is most urgent. Sessions often focus on building small, useful skills for day-to-day life. She emphasizes the client’s own strengths and choices rather than imposing a one-size-fits-all plan.
Her approach draws from several therapy styles that teach coping tools and emotional awareness. Yangyang commonly uses methods aimed at changing unhelpful thoughts, managing strong emotions, and clarifying personal values. She frames work as a collaboration and tailors strategies to each person’s situation.
With six years of experience, Yangyang has supported people coping with stress, panic-related problems, depression, trauma and relationship difficulties. She also helps with parenting stress, low self-esteem, grief after separation, and feelings of isolation. Her practical focus is on what people can try between sessions to notice progress.
People who choose her often want clear steps and steady guidance. Yangyang asks questions, listens closely, and helps clients set goals that feel doable. To start, she encourages a brief matching process so people can find whether her style fits their needs.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, panic-related worries, and feeling stuck by strong emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and adding practical coping skills. CBT often helps with panic attacks, social anxiety, and mood symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Yangyang will work together with each person to try methods that fit their goals and preferences. She looks at what is useful in early sessions and adjusts the plan based on progress and feedback.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from different locations. It can also let people use shorter or more focused sessions when attention or bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT tools to remote work, guiding skill practice, behavioral experiments, and values-based planning that clients can use between meetings.
