About Xiaoying
Xiaoying 'Sharon' Qi is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California with seven years of practice. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and other life challenges. Sharon speaks English and Mandarin and aims to make first steps in therapy feel manageable and clear.
Sharon shapes conversations around each person's situation. She listens and then builds a simple plan to try. Sessions focus on practical skills so people can notice patterns and make small changes that matter day to day.
Background and approach
Her work commonly addresses parenting concerns, career stress, self-esteem, addictions, and relationship struggles. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, sleep or eating difficulties, and chronic health challenges. Anger and impulsivity are included among the concerns she helps people talk through.
Sharon blends methods that promote acceptance, present-moment awareness, and clearer thinking. She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered work to match a person’s needs. She also draws on dialectical skills and emotionally focused ideas when they fit the situation.
People who like a calm, respectful tone may find her approach helpful. She aims to offer realistic steps and homework that fit daily life. The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Sessions are offered in multiple formats so people can pick what works best. Sharon invites anyone ready to begin to take the first step and complete a short matching questionnaire to get started.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, anger, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches specific coping skills and small experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving, useful for stress, sleep, and mood concerns.
Client-Centered Therapy centers on a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead, offering reflection and support to help people find their own solutions to problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth conversations and exercises. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text can be useful for brief check-ins, homework questions, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options let people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
