About Xiaoning
Xiaoning Yang is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with six years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, changes in life, and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin and she also supports international clients.
She focuses on practical, step-by-step ways to build self-esteem and coping skills. Xiaoning helps people who feel isolated, struggle with guilt or shame, or who are living around another person’s moods or drinking. Codependency appears among her focus areas, and she helps people notice patterns of putting others first and learn different ways to act.
Xiaoning pays attention to cultural and immigration-related concerns. She brings that context into conversations about aging, mood challenges, and life transitions. In sessions she explores how background and values shape choices and emotions.
Her work favors clear tools and small changes people can use between meetings. That can include setting boundaries, simple emotion-regulation techniques, and ways to reframe self-critical thoughts. The aim is to make daily life more manageable rather than promising quick fixes.
People who meet with Xiaoning usually complete a short questionnaire, then schedule a first session to decide goals. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and cost varies with location. To begin, clients use the See online therapy options button and follow the matching steps.
How sessions work
How Xiaoning adapts evidence-based methods for online work
Many evidence-based techniques are practical to use in conversation and homework that follow sessions. Cognitive approaches help people notice and shift self-critical thoughts, making stress and low self-esteem easier to manage. Behavioral strategies focus on small, doable actions such as experimenting with saying no, practicing boundary-setting, and scheduling mood-boosting activities. These approaches are helpful for anxiety, mood concerns, and codependency patterns that show up as people-pleasing or loss of identity.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify goals and to try approaches that fit their needs and routines. Sessions include checking what works and adapting techniques based on feedback and progress.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy week, or letting clients use phone audio when bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals can guide practical exercises people can use between sessions to reinforce changes without promising a specific outcome.
