About Sixuan
Sixuan Bao is a licensed clinical social worker in New York with nine years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety, face trauma and abuse, and navigate relationship and career challenges. She frames the work around each person's strengths and personal story.
Taking the first step toward change often feels hard, and she offers steady support through that process. Her approach draws on Jungian ideas alongside client-centered and cognitive behavioral practices.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to connect deeper personal meaning with practical steps people can use between meetings. She uses clear language and concrete tools so clients can try things out and notice what helps. She also works with issues like grief, addiction, LGBT concerns, intimacy-related struggles, body image, and sleep or eating challenges.
Difficult feelings such as anger, low self-esteem, and burnout are addressed with a mix of reflection and behavioral strategies. This makes therapy both thoughtful and action-oriented. Sixuan meets with people in English and Mandarin.
She offers several online formats for sessions including video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Sessions are scheduled through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.
She works collaboratively to set goals and adjust plans as needs change.

How Jungian and Practical Approaches Work Online
Sixuan blends Jungian Therapy with client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches. Jungian Therapy looks at symbols, personal stories, and recurring patterns to help people find deeper meaning in their struggles and strengths. Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the client’s pace so people feel heard and respected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with straightforward exercises and experiments.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Sixuan collaborates with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She may use reflective exploration at times and concrete skill practice at others, adjusting as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text messaging allow ongoing notes, quick check-ins, and flexible support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue work from different locations.
