About Xiaoxiao
Xiaoxiao Wang is an AASW-accredited social worker with five years of clinical experience. She offers straightforward, compassionate support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety and depression. Many come to her for help with self-esteem, motivation and career concerns, or when life changes feel hard to navigate.
Tera takes a warm, collaborative approach. She listens first and helps people identify their strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps that can be tried between meetings, and on building confidence to face current challenges.
Background and approach
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing. These methods are used in plain terms to spot unhelpful thinking, test new behaviours, and strengthen motivation for change. Trauma-informed principles guide the pace and tone of sessions.
Xiaoxiao adapts each meeting to what the person needs that day. Some people prefer structured exercises and homework. Others want to talk things through slowly and reflect before trying new strategies.
Either way, the aim is steady progress toward clear, realistic goals. Sessions can be in English or Mandarin. She supports people living in Australia who want practical tools for coping, reconnecting with purpose, and reducing panic or social anxiety.
The tone is respectful and down-to-earth, and she aims to make therapy feel manageable even when life is busy.
How CBT and Motivational Interviewing work online
CBT helps people notice patterns of unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural experiments to see what changes. It is often used for anxiety, panic and mood concerns by breaking problems into manageable steps and practising new skills between sessions.Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person's own reasons for change. It uses open conversation to build motivation and clarify goals, which can be useful when someone feels stuck or low in drive.
Choosing the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what has helped before. Together they decide whether to focus on structured CBT techniques, motivational conversations, or a blend of both.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging can suit brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and practical constraints.
