About Sixuan
Sixuan Bao is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with nine years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, career issues, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. Sessions are offered in English and Mandarin.
Sixuan starts by listening to each person’s story and recognizing their existing strengths. She uses straightforward conversation to clarify problems and practical steps to address them. Clients can expect focused work on day-to-day challenges like coping with worry, improving sleep, managing anger, and rebuilding trust after difficult events.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s goals. She also integrates cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and dialectical behavior skills for managing intense emotions. These tools are used in simple, concrete ways rather than abstract theory.
Sixuan also brings perspectives from existential and Jungian approaches when questions about meaning, identity, or long-standing patterns arise. That can look like examining personal values, life choices, or recurring relationship patterns to open up different options for action.
People who meet with her often work on practical changes - improving communication, handling grief, addressing addictive behaviors, or stabilizing mood concerns such as depression or bipolar symptoms. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session so practical goals can be set and progress tracked.
BHow sessions work
How core approaches guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and perspectives. It emphasizes listening, reflecting, and working from the client’s priorities to set practical steps for change. This approach helps when someone wants straightforward support for life and relationship issues.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits. It uses specific exercises and small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and lift mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through emotion regulation and mindful action.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan collaboratively based on what helps most. Clients play an active role in picking which techniques to use and how sessions proceed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or medical appointments. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed, avoids travel time, and lets people keep continuity of care when schedules change. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice to an online setting so progress stays practical and focused.
