Newport Beach, CA - Accepting clients in CA
In my practice, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) within a trauma-informed care framework to support clients struggling with self-esteem, body image, and relationship issues. Recognizing the impact of trauma on these areas, I create a safe and empathetic environment where clients feel validated and understood. My structured approach helps clients develop practical skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. For self-esteem and body image concerns, I focus on helping clients cultivate self-compassion and challenge negative self-talk through mindfulness and acceptance strategies, always being mindful of their trauma history. In addressing relationship issues, I guide clients in building healthier communication patterns and setting appropriate boundaries using interpersonal effectiveness skills, while ensuring a trauma-sensitive approach. By integrating these techniques, I empower clients to navigate their emotions more effectively, improve their self-perception, and foster more fulfilling relationships, all within a context that prioritizes their safety and well-being.

Mountain View, CA - Accepting clients in CA
Hi, I’m Zirley Macias, LCSW, a bilingual (English | Spanish) therapist who meets with California adults via secure tele-health. For the past nine years I’ve helped clients untangle anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, and relationship pain points so they can return to feeling like themselves again—or discover an even healthier version. My style is warm, personable, and a bit quirky; clients describe our sessions as equal parts safe space and springboard for change. I weave evidence-based tools—Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, strength-based work, and, when requested, Christian counseling—into practical “between-session” exercises that turn insight into daily life skills. Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, rebuilding boundaries, or simply tired of feeling stuck, my goal is to partner with you in finding realistic solutions and sustainable hope.

***Please note that although Grow allows clients to schedule their own intakes, I require an initial free 15-minute phone consultation before treatment begins. The purpose of this call is to establish if we're a good fit in regard to style and goals. If we are not able to have that phone consultation at least one day before the intake, I will have to reschedule the intake. Thank you for understanding!***
Let's take a moment to acknowledge you being here! Thank you for finding your way to me, and I hope we can work together to help you make meaningful change in your life. I'm Albert Xiong (he/him/his), and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist with 6 years of experience providing affirming therapy services to a wide variety of clients across multiple settings. As a gay, Chinese American, myself, I get what it's like to navigate facets of our identities that can sometimes feel at odds. After a career of providing services to disenfranchised folks on Medi-Cal, students in a high-achieving high school in the Bay Area, and a small agency, I've found that fostering trusting and supportive relationships goes a long way in being a therapist. In the (virtual) therapy room, you can expect me to be an animated and relatively lighthearted therapist; I pride myself on bringing my genuine self into our therapeutic relationship, and my genuine self is someone who's curious and playful.
Milton Erickson said, "patients have grim enough lives, let's not give them grim therapy, too." And while I resonate deeply with this quote, you can expect me to always supply the respect and compassion you deserve when you decide to share about something grim.

My therapeutic approach is eclectic and collaborative. I use principles of psychodynamic therapy, CBT and DBT and I adapt my treatments to best fit your needs.

Lakewood, CA - Accepting clients in CA
As a South Asian Muslim immigrant, I understand the rebuilding process of who we are from generational trauma and patterns, as well as navigating identities that make us authentic. I am passionate about this work because I have seen clients shed their stories and step into their authentic selves when aligned. It brings me immense joy to see individuals no longer surviving but thriving. I invited you to be curious and connect to see how we can work together to help you. I look forward to your phone call.
