Getting to know Xiya Li
Hi, This is Xiya :)
Choosing to begin a counseling journey takes great courage, and I’m honored to walk alongside you on this path.
My counseling style is rooted in a client-centered approach, integrating your personal goals, needs, and cultural background into a tailored plan. I draw from mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy(CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), family system theory, and other evidence-based modalities to support your self-understanding and exploration. I view counseling as a collaborative process—together, we will examine your thoughts and emotions, navigate life’s challenges, uncover your inner strengths, and work steadily toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.
My areas of focus include, but are not limited to, depression, anxiety, relationship/attachment issues, family dynamics, self-esteem, life transitions, and cultural adaptation. I have experience working with diverse populations, including adults, seniors, families, and neurodiverse individuals, and provide psychological counseling and case management across various settings, such as community programs, schools, inpatient environments.
Psychotherapy with me is not only a space to address life challenges but also a place for self-awareness, exploration, creativity, and personal growth. Growth is not always linear—new insights may emerge gradually, and ups and downs are a natural part of the process, all intended to nourish you and help you become a more whole and authentic self.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Counseling with me is a collaborative process. Together, we will explore your experiences, behavioral patterns, and the challenges that arise within your cultural and environmental context. I provide a safe and open space where you can freely express your thoughts and emotions. A strong therapeutic relationship is central to our work. Your comfort, trust, and willingness to share will always be respected, and we will move forward at a pace that feels safe and supportive for you. I view personal growth as a gradual journey rather than a straight path—insights emerge over time, and challenges naturally become part of the process. Throughout this journey, I will walk alongside you, supporting you as you move toward greater clarity in your goals and a more authentic sense of self.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I don’t believe that everyone—or every stage of life—requires repeatedly revisiting the past, processing trauma, or healing the inner child. While these efforts are valuable at the right time, excessive focus on internal repair may lead to a perpetual sense of “never being enough.” I believe that psychological growth is not only about analyzing and healing past wounds but also reflected in everyday choices and actions. "Living in the present"—including maintaining a healthy lifestyle, cultivating supportive relationships, and taking responsibility for life—is often the most fundamental form of self-care for the mind and body.
