About Xou
Xou Yang is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people manage strong emotions and stressful life moments. He focuses on practical steps for anger, anxiety, grief, addiction, and relationship strain. He aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk and figure things out.
Yang listens first, then helps clients set clear goals. He blends straightforward tools with emotional work so people can notice patterns and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skill building for coping, communication practice, and exercises to reduce reactivity. He uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused work, and trauma-focused strategies to address painful memories and patterns. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of his toolbox to support motivation and present-moment change.
These methods are offered in ways that focus on what the person wants to achieve. With eight years of experience and credentials as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - MA LMHC and a Utah Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, he brings steady clinical experience to each session. He draws on that background to help people plan short-term goals and longer-term growth.
People who prefer flexible session formats can work with him by phone, video, live chat, or text-based messaging. He practices in Utah and conducts sessions in English. If someone wants to try online therapy, he supports step-by-step scheduling and matching to find a good fit.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Xou often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT sessions typically focus on specific problems, such as anger or anxiety, and include practical exercises people can use between meetings.He also draws on emotionally-focused work to help people notice and shift how they react in close relationships. This approach supports clearer communication and more stable emotional responses. For trauma-related concerns he may incorporate trauma-focused processing methods to reduce the hold of painful memories.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. He will talk with each person about their goals, past efforts, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful when interaction and visual cues matter, phone works well for lower bandwidth or when a camera isn’t wanted, and chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins or flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and daily life.
