Hello, I'm Xiangya (Sonya) Gao. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas, I bring a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to my practice. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, and over the past ten years, I have dedicated myself to helping individuals navigate their mental health journeys. My extensive background includes working with diverse patient populations, addressing severe mental illness, developmental delays, personality disorders, anxiety, depression, PTSD, situational distress, and adjustment issues.
My therapeutic approach is eclectic, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. This flexibility allows me to tailor treatment interventions to each client’s unique concerns and needs.
As a member of the Student Advisory Council for the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor Clinical Mental Health department, I share my insights and passion to ensure high-quality education for future mental health professionals.
If you feel that we might be a good fit and you are ready to explore your mental health journey, please don't hesitate to reach out.
