About Xiaoying
Xiaoying 'Sharon' Qi is a California LPCC - a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with seven years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career issues, and related life strains. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin.
Sharon focuses on practical conversation and skills people can use between sessions. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to guide work on mood, relationships, and everyday functioning. She aims to keep things concrete and understandable rather than abstract.
People often come for help with parenting stress, relationship strains, sleep and eating difficulties, and adjustment after loss or separation. Sharon also supports clients managing ADHD symptoms, addiction concerns, grief, trauma, anger, and issues around intimacy and body image. She pays attention to patterns such as attachment and abandonment worries that show up in relationships.
In sessions she mixes skill-building with reflective conversation. That might mean practicing coping strategies, noticing what gets in the way of goals, and trying new ways of communicating. Her work includes coaching elements for career decisions and coping with caregiver strain.
To get started, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and routine behaviors by teaching practical skills for changing patterns. CBT is commonly applied to mood, sleep, eating, and anxiety concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and day-to-day realities and then recommend which methods to try first. Decisions are collaborative and can change as needs shift.
Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, avoiding travel time, or choosing sessions that don't require being on camera. Licensed professionals and therapists adapt exercises and assignments to the online setting so clients can practice skills between sessions.
